Description

There should be a Janitor, or JanitorConfigurator should have an option to delete logs for old builders (i.e. builders which have been removed from the configuration, which show up on clicking "Show old builders" on builders page)

http://docs.buildbot.net/latest/manual/cfg-configurators.html#janitorconfigurator doesn't seems to contain any such option.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the JanitorConfigurator documentation at http://docs.buildbot.net/latest/manual/cfg configurators.html#janitorconfigurator. Examine the source code in the buildbot repository, likely in the configurators module, to understand the existing Janitor configurator implementation. Look for how old builders are identified (e.g., via the 'show old builders' feature) and design an option to remove their logs. Consider contributing to the discussion in the issue for any clarifications.
