Deprecation and Archiving #2

Closed janpio closed 5 years ago

janpio commented 6 years ago

This PR explains the process "Deprecation and Archiving" of repositories.

Its content is the result of this discussion on the mailing list: https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/34369ada22f8a616e90471d38c8fd7def2eb17ff3ddbf4ba0b47987f@%3Cdev.cordova.apache.org%3E

It refers to the Deprecation Policy page from https://github.com/apache/cordova-docs/pull/878 in multiple places.

Please feel free to nitpick any language and grammar problems - I rewrote this quite often, so it is very possible there are some "organically grown" sentences.

Please have a special look at the text templates: notice template and issue/PR closing message.

I am very sorry to say that I still do not see what this has to do with a project or repository called "contribute".

"Contributor Documentation" is the common name for documentation that targets people working on the software, not with the software. This document (and the rest of this repository) is targeted at contributors - people of the PMC and other community members.
