Definitely agreed: either we care about something, and it should have a proper place and somebody who maintains it; or else we don't care about it and should kick it out of the tree. Having a contrib/ directory is an attractive nuisance for accumulating more stuff in the awkward halfway-house. We should really clean up the existing /contrib/ and move stuff into where it belongs (quite often tools/, which in turn mostly contains things that should *not* be in tools/...) -- PMM
