Inspired by Diederik's suggestion, I've added a new page to wikitech, 
'My Resources':

https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:NovaResources

That page will display a list of projects and instances that are 
probably your personal responsibility.  Specifically, it lists projects 
that you're an admin for, and instances that you created. It's a bit of 
a work in progress but should display accurate info in the meantime.

- Are you an admin for a project that you never use or have never heard 
of?  Then remove yourself, here: 
https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:NovaProject.  If you're 
about to remove yourself and you're the /last/ admin for a project, 
please let me know!

- Do you see instances that you created but no one cares about anymore?  
Then please delete them.

- Do you see a 'failed' or 'unknown'  puppet status for your instance?  
If so, please resolve this problem or find me on IRC and ask me to resolve.

At the moment I'm reluctant to add email nags for puppet problems. If 
there's clamor for that feature on-list then I'll reconsider.  It 
shouldn't be especially hard to implement.
