On visiting the gnuserv website http://meltin.net/hacks/emacs/, we now find:
"I used to have some Emacs and Haskell hacks on my previous
sites. However, these hacks are now old and un-maintained. I don’t
think there is enough interest to keep them around."
Please see the attached patch. Is it ok to push?
Best regards,
Stefan Kangas

Fine with me, but I'd like to have Bill's approval for the MH-E bit.
Thanks.

No response in 10 days, and I noticed that MH-E still supports XEmacs.
Maybe it makes sense to keep that reference.
In any case, I pushed everything but the MH-E part as commit
65cda95be4. I'm consequently closing this bug report.
Best regards,
Stefan Kangas

[Trying to get through some backlog before upcoming travel builds it
back up again.]
Thanks, Eli and Stefan.
A quick Google search didn't reveal any news about gnuserv's demise,
although there hasn't been any changes in a decade. It is still in
Debian sid and Ubuntu 19 (disco), for example. I think we should keep
the references as long as it is maintained in some fashion.
