Yes, just a project name doesn't tell much, especially if it is not
standard.

I think it is reasonable that author modifies it.

I would be more strict -- project is deleted (or moved to special section
'abandoned projects' after 3 months of inactivity or marked 'done' if
approved by administration or opencores mailing list.
This would make a list of finished projects, ready for production
a separate list of projects in progress and in testing.
