I don't think you can unpublish something on the internet :-)

If someone else wants to own the migration of gedasymbols to git (onto
geda-project.org's server, I suppose), and maintain it (the git config
at least) after that, here are the rules for the repo:

* A given account can only modify their own files (i.e. users/my_account/*)

* Some users can also modify HTML and other static files in non-user
  areas (generic admins for the common areas).

* A few users (ok, *me* :) can modify any file, including CGIs.

* Account names must reflect your legal name.

* Commits must also push to the gedasymbols web server.

The idea behind all this is that there must be balance between "let
the users do anything" and "make the users responsible for their own
content".  The rules are intended to make copyright attribution and
ownership "obvious".
