While iterating over all the /xorg/ repos to update their READMEs
(which I think I've now finished - let me know if you spot one I missed),
I noticed a few more to consider archiving:

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/app/compiz
   - This is a long abandoned repo, not actual upstream, right?

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/app/intel-gen4asm
   - Last commit was to declare the repo DEPRECATED as it folded into
     the gpu-tools repo instead.

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/app/lbxproxy
   - This can't be built without liblbxutil which is already archived.

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/app/makepsres
   - leftover bit of DPS that never even got a Makefile created

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/app/mkcfm
   - MAINTAINERS file says "Obsolete - CID font support has been dropped"

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/app/proxymngr
   - This can't be built without lbxproxy (see above)

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/app/xrx
   - All major browsers have dropped NSAPI plugin support now

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/app/xsetmode
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/app/xsetpointer
   - The READMEs explain why these are useless now

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/app/xtrap
   - See https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg/2008-June/036131.html

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-imstt
   - Last commit is "Fail configure. This driver is unmaintained" 8 years ago

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/font/bitstream-speedo
   -Speedo is listed on https://www.x.org/wiki/DeprecatedInX11R7/ as not
    supported in modular builds.  The code was deleted from libXfont in 2009.

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/lib/libxkbcommon
   - Last commit is notice of moving to github 5 years ago

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/lib/libxcwm
   - Is anyone using this?  No commits in 6 years...

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/util/xmkmf
   - Last commit was 12 years ago: "xmkmf support was moved to imake package."
