X.Org modules which could use some help to release

[Alan Coopersmith]

As you may have noticed, I've been working through the various modules to make
releases of those with significant enough change to justify a release (i.e.
more than just the autogen.sh cleanups & gitlab README/configure.ac updates).

There's some modules which have more than enough change that I've left for
now for other reasons, which others could help with:

app/mkcomposecache:
  - Does anyone actually use this?  I think the code to read the files is
    in Xlib, but do packagers ship this to build the files?

app/twm:
  - Needs someone to evaluate:
    https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/app/twm/issues/7
    https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/project/Xorg/list/?q=twm
    patches in https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/app/twm/issues

app/xkbcomp:
  - Needs someone to evaluate:
    https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/project/Xorg/list/?q=xkbcomp
    https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/app/xkbcomp/issues

app/xkbutils:
  - Needs someone to evaluate:
    patch in https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/app/xkbutils/issues/1

app/xrandr:
  - Needs someone to evaluate:
    https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/app/xrandr/merge_requests/1
    https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/project/Xorg/list/?q=xrandr

app/xrestop:
  - Are we shipping this as an X.Org project now despite the GPL license?
  - Previous releases are on yoctoproject.org, not xorg.freedesktop.org -
    do we care about that?

app/xresponse:
  - I didn't even know this existed until seeing it in gitlab, but it's
    apparently another GPL project we inherited from openedhand.
    It looks like it's been abandoned since 2007 - does anyone use it
    or should it just be archived now?

app/xscope:
  - I pushed the fixes to show peer process info on Linux & Solaris.
    Does anyone want to provide support for any other platforms before we
    ship this?  See:
    https://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-devel/2019-February/057982.html

app/xshowdamage:
  - This appears to be test code, never released as a tarball, but might
    still be useful for debugging, so I don't think it should be archived.

driver/xf86-input-keyboard:
  - Needs a FreeBSD person to figure out the correct patch to apply for:
    https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-input-keyboard/issues/28

driver/xf86-video-dummy:
  - Needs someone to evaluate:
    https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-dummy/merge_requests/1

These I left because I believe they have maintainers to handle their releases
(or to decide whether it's time for a release or not):
  - app/intel-gpu-tools
  - app/xinput
  - driver/xf86-input-joystick
  - driver/xf86-input-vmmouse
  - driver/xf86-video-amdgpu
  - driver/xf86-video-ati
  - driver/xf86-video-cirrus
  - driver/xf86-video-fbdev
  - driver/xf86-video-freedreno
  - driver/xf86-video-geode
  - driver/xf86-video-glint
  - driver/xf86-video-intel
  - driver/xf86-video-mach64
  - driver/xf86-video-omap
  - driver/xf86-video-qxl
  - driver/xf86-video-rendition
  - driver/xf86-video-s3
  - driver/xf86-video-savage
  - driver/xf86-video-sis
  - driver/xf86-video-trident
  - driver/xf86-video-v4l
  - driver/xf86-video-vesa
  - driver/xf86-video-vmware
  - driver/xf86-video-wsfb
  - lib/libAppleWM
  - lib/libxrandrutils
  - lib/libXt
  - test/rendercheck (besides, I don't know how to make meson-only releases)

These I skipped because we don't package them in Solaris and I don't know if
anyone else still uses them or they should just be archived now:
  - app/beforelight
  - app/fdclock
  - app/mdm
  - app/rstart
  - app/scripts
  - app/xf86dga
  - app/xfwp
  - app/xvidtune
  - app/xcb-demo
  - driver/xf86-video-ark
  - driver/xf86-video-armsoc
  - driver/xf86-video-impact
  - driver/xf86-video-newport
  - driver/xf86-video-nested  (has never had a release?)
  - driver/xf86-video-tga
  - driver/xf86-video-tseng
  - driver/xf86-video-xgi
  - driver/xf86-video-xgixp
  - lib/libWindowsWM
  - lib/libXTrap
  - util/gccmakedep
  - util/install-check

(Of those, only xfwpm, xvidtune, & elographics have an entry on
 release-monitoring.org, which is one sign of use in distros,
 but not definitive.)
