That's a good question.  I'm really not sure what to do about
psutils.  I've been trying to decide for a while if I wanted to orphan
it, and I've been leaning in that direction.

As it stands now, there hasn't been any upstream work on psutils in a
long time, and my impression from the last time I spoke with the
author was that he wasn't sure when he might be able to work on it
heavily again.

It also looks like a number of the bugs may require someone with quite
a bit more postscript expertise than I have (or than I may want to
acquire soon).

And finally, I have been wondering about the current status of the
domain.  Is psutils still needed, or are there better, more actively
pursued alternatives now?  For example, can similar functionality
often be provided by convenience wrappers around ghostscript, as
suggested in #159888?
