Bulgarian Wikinews was locked for all contributors

yesterday. Then some content was cleaned up, as previously discussed. That
cleanup is now complete.
At this point, the Phabricator task has requested that the sysadmins fully
lock the project. But in fact both sysops have been deflagged now, so *de
facto* this project is now only changeable by stewards and sysadmins. In
other words, the project is closed.
Thank you for your work on this, and everything around it (and the clerk
work in general).
Before we finalize the pseudo-deletion, there are a
couple of details we
need to work out at the Phabricator task. Most particularly, the original
proposer has suggested (and appropriately in my view) that even if we
redirect all other url's on the project to a single landing page, thereby
hiding the rest of the project from public view, we should leave access to
the Village Pump page and the Voting page, as the project closure proposal
links to discussions on them quite frequently. That way, there will never
be a question as to why this decision was made. (The alternative is to move
archive copies of those pages somewhere else, perhaps to Meta.) In any
event, I don't think how we do this needs to be a Committee decision; it's
something I can work through with the sysadmins myself.

Thanks again, Steven.
