Pinged message

If the submitter of a new project for approval didn't answer after a week or two, the admin will to send a pinged message.

Zombie groups

When submissions are cancelled in the tracker, but the groups not removed from the database, they stay there and increase the "pending registrations" frontpage statistics. To find such projects visit /siteadmin/grouplist.php?status=P and compare with pending groups in the task tracker.
