I personally disagree with this approach. Since a software is free, I
can, personally, redistribute it to people that find it
interesting. And so, savannah account shouldnt be remove in that way,
only the author should be remove from the project members list.

If the account is closed because the project is hosted somewhere else,
no problem, that's fine. But if it's closed definitively, it can be a
loss for the free software community and we should avoid it.
