I'm working on that:
http://flyspray.rocks.cc/bts/index.php?do=details&id=142

Apart from a little lack of time I haven't got around it because I
couldn't figure out a good, clean way to merge it with the current
interface.  I don't feel like changing the interface, so if anybody
has an idea how to get this functionality in, please let me know by
adding a comment to the task or of course through this mailinglist.

Perhaps the user interface does need changing, in the global groups
manager in particular.  Imagine a Flyspray installation with several
thousand users... it would take a long time to load that page with every
user listed at once.  Perhaps we need a way to hide group members on
first load, then have a button to show/load them.  A username search
might also be a good idea one day.

Of course, all this is out of the scope of FS#142.  :-)

Well, there is no function to do this today.  The history behind this
sort of apparent lack is that when you delete records from a database,
it sometimes breaks relationships and causes unexpected problems.
It's sometimes easier to just not delete them.  :)

So, you can do one of these things:

1) Create a group with no permissions, call it "Retired" or something,
and assign the user there.  Maybe reset the password to some random
string.
2) Look at all tasks, see if any are assigned to Mr Foo, and manually
reassign them to someone else.  Then you go into your database and
delete the user ID record by hand, being sure to also clean up
references to it in other database tables.
3) Convince someone to code something that does option #2 automatically.  :)

I've done #2 before, but this was some time ago, before multi projects
and other permissions related things existed, so it was easier.

if the user has ANY records in a system, you really don't want to delete them, 
rather, disable them.   The same thing is true for operating systems, I *never* 
delete users from my Windows or Unix servers, instead, I disable them.   That 
way, 3 years later, when you run across a file they owned, you'll know who it 
was instead of `1047` (or worse, Windows GID {43242342-3242-432523612612} kind 
of stuff).
