Bug Description
We start getting a lot of duplicated projects registered.
For instance, for Drupal, we have 10 different projects registered and we also have gtk and gtk2
Most of them would not be created if we implement duplicate checking when creating new projects, just like we do with bugs

It seems to me that the drupal problem is different:
* There is an apparent misunderstanding of how translations should use projects. Most drupal "projects" are actually translation projects. People creating them think "I am creating a translation project", therefore create a project without realizing the proper thing is to attach themselves to the upstream.
See: https:/
I do not believe that duplicate checking on project registration would help, because I believe those users have deliberately created multiple projects. It seems to me the issue is more of misunderstanding what is the purpose of a project, and how to collaborate on translations using Launchpad.
* A couple of drupal-related projects seem to be legitimate separate objects: https:/
* One case looks like a genuine unintentional duplicate: https:/
