Some notes about news byte creation:
# sample data for a support group "Merry Chrismas" news byte:
 # THESE MUST BE CREATED AS PART OF THE NEWS BYTE
 gforge=> select id, group_id, forum_id from news_bytes where group_id = 5 and forum_id = 589;
  id  | group_id | forum_id 
 -----+----------+----------
  188 |        5 |      589
 (1 row)
 gforge=>  select * from forum_group_list where group_id = 3 and group_forum_id = 589;
  group_forum_id | group_id |    forum_name    | is_public |   description    | allow_anonymous | send_all_posts_to 
 ----------------+----------+------------------+-----------+------------------+-----------------+-------------------

 ### THESE ARE THE REPLIES; THEY ARE CREATED AFTER THE FACT
 gforge=> select msg_id, group_forum_id, posted_by, subject from forum where group_forum_id = 589;

To anonymize a GForge DB dump - e.g., for Dr Nic - run this SQL:

update users set email = 'anonymous'||user_id||'@example.org';

# set all passwords to password
update users set user_pw = '5f4dcc3b5aa765d61d8327deb882cf99'; 
update users set unix_pw = '5f4dcc3b5aa765d61d8327deb882cf99';
update users set confirm_hash = null, authorized_keys = null, email_new = null, phone = null;

delete from api_requests where created_at < current_date - interval'1 month';
delete from disk_usages where created_at < current_date - interval'1 month';

delete from mirrors;

# These two DELETEs knock about 500 MB off the data dump
delete from frs_dlstats_file where month < 201101;
delete from stats_project_developers where month < 201101;

If spam is reported on an artifact, i.e.:

http://rubyforge.org/tracker/download.php/718/2844/29642/5722/cos26.html

"718" is the group id.
