That sounds like a good layout. I intend to as a first step create an "old" or "archive" directory in the top of the contrib module, move everything into that, and then set up something like you describe. Maintainers can then move things back from this old/archive directory into the new directory structure when they are brought up to the new spec. This should mean we only have things in there that are maintained. I also intend to create a FILES readme sort of document that will list who is maintaining what, so it is at least a bit more traceable. I suspect though that maintainers will be very thin on the ground, despite it not being a particularly arduous job, and that the vast majority will stay in the old archive. Volunteers welcome! I'd also like to assemble a list of externally distributed ports, as they would also be of use to others, particularly if they are maintained. Any suggestions for this would be welcome too.
