I don't think you were very thorough on this. Of the three remaining
contrib projects I authored (and for which I am the top shortlog entry),
you cc'd me on one. For contrib/persistent-https, you did not cc Colby,
who is the sole author. I didn't look beyond that.

If we are going to remove projects so they can be maintained out of
tree, it seems like the prudent thing to do is make sure the original
author is aware so that they can actually start maintaining it out of
tree.
