The status pages are generated from projects/*.xml files.
When a podling retires, its website is redirected there.

podlings.xml is used by clutch and to generate the summary listings:
https://incubator.apache.org/projects/
and the current list on the index page
It is also used by whimsy and probably other tools either directly or
via JSON files created by Whimsy

The podlings/*.yml files are a later addition, but include information
that is not readiliy available elsewhere.

Whilst it might be easier to manage the files if they were in Git,
that is not the issue here.
