I would like to move following packages from Base:System there (then
changedevelrequest)
- less
- pinfo
- lsof

Next, these package from Contrib
- ack [*]
- calcurse [**]
- devtodo
- remind
- urlview
- vifm
- wyrd

Afterwards, I would submit these to Factory and delete from Contrib.

Objections?

[*] ack is also in your list. I checked the differences between
Contrib/ack and your version - the Contrib (originally based on your
package) is newer (git snapshot) and has a patch to ignore .osc files.
If it goes to Factory, I think it should be stable version (1.92), so I
suggest you to submit your package and will add stuff from Contrib/ack
later.

Oh, and ack depends on perl-File-Next, which is not in Factory. I will
update the package in devel:languages:perl and submit to Factory.

[**] Your calcurse package looks better, so let's just submit your
version to Factory (FWIW I could be (co)maintainer if needed) and
delete the one from Contrib.

Does it make sense?
