This proposal is being created as part of  TNL-6125 - Getting issue details... STATUS

Summary

A new organization, edx-deprecated, will be created. When repositories within the edx organization are no longer supported, they can be transferred to this organization to clarify the state of the repository and reduce spurious Gemansium warnings. Transferring ownership allows the preservation of Github history and provides forwarding links.

Steps

1. Update the README.rst file in the repository to state that it is deprecated and that the repository may depend on out-of-date libraries with security issues.
2. If the repository has a openedx.yaml file, add "obsolete: True" to that file.
3. Transfer ownership of the repository to edx-deprecated. See How To Transfer a Github Repo From a Personal Account to edX for an idea of what these steps may look like; a dedicated How-to will be created for the process once this proposal is approved.
4. Send an email to edx-code@googlegroups.com notifying the openedx community about the change.
5. If transferring a repository to edx-deprecated does not automatically cause Gemnasium to stop reporting on it, create a Devops ticket for this additional piece of work.
