FYI: Whenever we, the TYPO3 Security Team, become aware of a security
issue in an unmaintained extension, we'll remove those versions from TER.

Looks like this is the fastest way at the moment to remove such
extensions from TER. So, go security bug hunting! ;-)

Nonetheless, to me the ECT seemed to be dead. If they are still alive,
I'm sure the team will get access to interfaces that allow them to
remove extensions. I remember a planned TER cleanup discussed some
T3CONs ago.
