We get mails about these; so, we can enumerate them to tell those doing
it incorrectly to ensure that they correct their way of doing it. Since
there are multiple people involved, this is in no way a way to blame
them but rather to ensure we restore a sane way of doing it.

"+" means properly announced, "-" means unannounced and () is location;
proper assumes announcement in mask, dev and dev-announce.

Two interesting things to note here are that

 1) dev-only seems to be the main cause of lost announcements, which
    isn't that worry some as most of us still receive them but it would
    be nice for them to be in dev-announce as well;

 2) pkg-moves land up in removals, we might want to see if we can bring
    these under a separate list in the automatic script by hwoarang.

After all there seem to be no worrying removals in this set, which is good;
we might want to follow this up slightly more closely though.

We also get to see some timed out last rites that were not removed yet:

# Vicente Olivert Riera <[email protected]> (08 Jul 2013)
# Fails to install. Maintainer suggested treeclean.
# Masked for removal in 30 days, bug #440670.
dev-java/pat-1.5.3

^ This is an interesting one, still exists in tree; not in package.mask
and also not in the ChangeLog of package.mask. What happened here?

# Justin Lecher <[email protected]> (17 Jul 2013)
# superseeded by sci-biology/allpathslg
# Upstream wants anybody to move over
sci-biology/allpaths

# Ian Stakenvicius <[email protected]> (20 Sep 2013)
# on behalf of [email protected]
# Severely outdated, no interest in maintaining,
# only a matter of time before it breaks,
# major QA issues with newer versions
# See bug #442122 for discussion
# Masked for removal in 30 days

These persons were reminded on IRC.
