Use Member and Project status fields

[mdraelos]

Feature Request

The site currently doesn't use member or project status fields very well. The following attempts to outline the envisioned implementation of statuses.

Transitions

• Members/projects are created with STATUS_EMPTY
• The first update of a member/project transitions status to STATUS_ACTIVE
• Members/projects are transitioned to STATUS_ARCHIVED when the current academic year is advanced

Freezing

• Members/projects with STATUS_ARCHIVED are frozen
• Users linked to members with STATUS_ARCHIVED are denied login privileges
• Blogposts of members with STATUS_ARCHIVED are frozen

Uses

• When editing project membership, only those members with STATUS_ACTIVE (or possibly STATUS_EMPTY) are listed as eligible project members
• When creating projects, only those with members with STATUS_ACTIVE (or possibly STATUS_EMPTY) are listed as eligible project coordinators
• All members with STATUS_ACTIVE are displayed in the member list for the current academic year even if they have no projects
• Members with STATUS_EMPTY will be directed to edit their member profile immediately upon login
• Members coordinating projects with STATUS_EMPTY will be notified of projects pending edits upon login

Freezing of members, projects, and blogposts implemented in commit 288c1b07cb47430877be65f9d9dab8294a0cd699.

Preventing login of archived members is already implemented if the associated user is marked inactive. Querying the member linked with a user on login introduces unnecessary specialization of the login backend.
