Russell, calm down please.

Maybe it'd be better to just email the people with broken stuff, then
wait ... if they don't reply in a week (two weeks?) then remove their
stuff. And make that a policy.

What do you think ?

Who do I email?  Which entries are causing problems?  That's the whole
bloody point.

Isn't the email in your database? You can't just script that ?

There's just far too much of it.  The amount of effort required to sort
through this file each time it needs to be updated has become
*excessive*. The amount of effort required to go through the file and
identify which entries are broken is *excessive*.  The amount of
effort required to find who to email is *excessive*.

Why not write a script for that ?

No, I don't have the time at present.

You're the head maintainer here and ARM is a rising architecture. If you can't 
cope with that, you have a growing community of very competent people here. 
Maybe someone will be willing to take over eventually? It'll relieve some 
pressure from you too, what do you think?
