Cleaning up common-lisp.net user database (not GitLab)?

[Erik Huelsmann]

Hi all,


Today I found the time to clean all accounts in the original batch (347
accounts) from the system for which the owner didn't object to removal.

While cleaning, I also cleaned up a number of Trac "environments" which
didn't contain anything (no tickets, no wiki pages).


Regards,


Erik.
