Dear all

How does one deprecate one of one's own plugins correctly?

  * Should I set deprecated=True in metadata.txt and re-upload the plugin?
      o If so, should I also bump the version number, or upload a thusly
        changed copy of the so-far latest version?
  * Should I "Edit" the plugin on https://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/my
    and check the "Deprecated" checkbox?
  * Does it matter whether I do just one of those or both?

Is the process documented anywhere? I couldn't find detailed 
instructions for this.

Best regards,
Raphael
