Thank you for sponsoring that upload!

I even considered removing it entirely. IMHO it does not contain any
valuable information at all.

Oh, that's interesting. I'll definitely diff through this!

That's not as easy as it sounds, as upstream is "dead" for about 10
years now. But there is a repo on github by one of the original authors
and I already issued a pull request there. If this ever gets accepted,
I'll request to pull all the other patches as well.

Let's not discuss personal taste/style questions here, I think both ways
are equally correct and valid.

Sure, I'll take this into consideration. But currently, I don't see
anything that's wrong with this package - apart from "hasn't seen any
activity in the last 5 years". But I don't think we should re-upload it
with merely cosmetic changes just for the sake of it.
Cheers,
Fabian
