If you want to remove it you just need to fill a bug report.
Take a look at:
http://wiki.debian.org/ftpmaster_Removals
If you decide to remove it from unstable, the removal will
propagate to testing if there are no dependencies keeping
it around. If you want to only remove it from testing, it
is a different kind of bug report but also described in the
above link.
Just out of curiosity, how this impacts Alioth and debian.org
CVS repositories? Probably it would require to probe DSA and
Alioth admins.
Kind regards,
