Description
Request
The publisher of the open-source VMware skill family migrated all repos from the personal GitHub account zw008 to a dedicated org vmware-skills, and re-published every server under the new namespace io.github.vmware-skills/*. The old io.github.zw008/vmware-* entries are now orphaned duplicates and I'd like them deprecated (or removed) so search results aren't doubled.
Old (orphan) → New (canonical, already published & isLatest)

What I've tried
mcp-publisherhas nodelete/deprecatesubcommand (v current).- I hold the
io.github.zw008/*namespace (I can auth for it), so if there's a supported self-service way to setstatus: deprecatedon these, I'm happy to do it myself — please point me at the endpoint/flow. (I saw #1444 re: status updates timing out; unsure if that's the intended path.) - Both old and new point to the same PyPI packages and the GitHub repos redirect, so this is cosmetic de-duplication, not a security concern.
I authenticate as GitHub user zw008 (owner of both the old namespace and the vmware-skills org). Thanks!

Research direction
Start with the mcp-publisher status-update path and the behavior discussed in issue #1444, then determine whether an endpoint or supported flow can mark registry entries as deprecated. Done means the 13 old io.github.zw008/vmware-* entries are deprecated or removed while the io.github.vmware-skills/* entries remain canonical.
