Here is my proposal for the email (to be sent after the products have
officially been considered obsolete):

----------
To: debian-gtk-gnome lists debian org

Dear downstream,

The GNOME products:
- <list of products here>

are now considered obsolete and unmaintained in GNOME and we are about
to close all bugs from these products in GNOME bugzilla[1]. If you are
still interested in the information these reports may contain, please
copy the information you need now or you can find the information
later by searching for CLOSED bugs and keyword obsolete-module-<year>.

Please don't hesitate to contact the GNOME Bugsquad
(gnome-bugsquad gnome org) if you have any questions. Also, please let
us know if you do not wish to receive these emails in the future.

[1] http://bugzilla.gnome.org/

NOT DONE

enter_bug.cgi groups products by their classification. I think that
Bugzilla provides a page for doing that here:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/editproducts.cgi but I can't access it.

I'll report a bug about this as soon as the new bugzilla installation
is set up. I can still come up with an sql update to hammer this in
the BD but it sounds safer that someone with enough permissions does
it in the gui.

Cheers,

Susana
