Because we noone had looked into it yet. As for which ones to keep and which ones to remove, we can start by removing all those where there is no maintainer any more (i.e. the maintainer is "us"). For those where it's unclear, we should try and contact the maintainer to see his opinion. If you can't get an answer (typically because none of the email addresses one can find work any more), then we can change the maintainer to "emacs-devel@gnu.org" (but make sure the non-answering previous maintainer is listed in "Author:", so we don't lose track of his past role). > Finally, the attached patch contains cleanups of things that already > seems to be removed, for example the `report-calc-bug' command that > has already been removed. Thanks, looks good, installed, Stefan
