look to be abandoned or unmaintained. Branches which have not been
touched in over a year include (along with author and date of last

Could folks take a look at these branches and justify their continued
existence? It would also be nice to include plans to continue working
on them, or issues which keep them from being merged to trunk.

Thanks,
