Ye, it would certainly be good to be more aggressive in cleaning up
up the Proposals page, it is hard to casually browse for "live" proposals.
Currently, the only mechanism is to move proposals into the "Needs
cleanup/modification" and "Works in Progress/Pending" sections at the
bottom - which are roughly equivalent to the place sick proposals go to die.
I propose:
1) Mark redundant proposals with "This proposal appears to be
redundant or duplicated. Unless there are any objections it will be
removed on or after dd-mm-yyyy" and leave it there until you or
someone else is next doing a clean-up round.
2) More generally, any proposal that has been there for more than a
year (see the pages "history" tab) be removed. Looking at a few
other proposals, this may be a little too aggressive as the
"riverbank"

proposal would go (or perhaps is should?). An alternative would be
to remove any proposal that has been there a year and had no
substantive activity for 6 months.
Here the dates for your example:
Created - 29 August 2006
Last substantive comment - Dec 2006
Last comment of any kind - Apr 2007
