A bit of searching shows that landmark.el is not used much (if at all),
and in fact causes confusion :
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2006-04/msg00294.html
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2014-06/msg00592.html
In that thread, Stefan suggests to move landmark.el to GNU elpa. I want
to give this a try. What's the procedure ?
My current plan is :
- move the file to lisp/obsolete/,
- add a note to lisp/obsolete/landmark.el that it moved to GNU Elpa
(like what was done for crisp.el)
- mention these changes in ChangeLog and NEWS
- copy the file to elpa.git, as packages/landmark/landmark.el
- add a Maintainer header (who should that be ? the original author ?)
and that's about it.
Opinions and advices very welcome.

Sounds good, thank you.

I think the honest answer is that it has no maintainer.
I'd either leave it with no Maintainer header (which by convention means
the author), or add one that says help wanted.

Finally marking as done. Sorry for the long delay.

Since the requirement for ELPA is to have such a header, I went for the
second option.
