@Jgiannelos: Hi, in my understanding such open tickets should simply get their #Product-Infrastructure-Team-Backlog and/or Product Infrastructure Roadmap removed project tag removed && must have a codebase project tag set on these open tickets, so they can still be found when looking at open issues related to a specific codebase? Or do I misunderstand something? :) What's the list of codebases this is about?
Furthermore, the description https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/profile/2726/ will need to get updated.

If I understand you correctly, @Aklapper your solution does makes sense but, in practice, would lead to those tickets being forever neglected. The addition of this tag might look more hacky, but would allow us to keep an eye on them without having them clutter our boards.

but, in practice, would lead to those tickets being forever neglected.

Hmm, how would creating a new tag influence or change that? :)

keep an eye on them without having them clutter our boards.

Do you think that will realistically happen? This sounds a bit like "Radar" tags that some teams have?

https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/product-infrastructure-team-backlog/ has an "Icebox" column. What would happen to that column?
Which existing, now orphaned codebase project tags would this be about?

@SLopes-WMF / @Jgiannelos: Could you please answer the last comments? Thanks in advance! :)

There's nothing that can be done if nobody answers, thus declining for the time being
