Description

Situation

The following source repos are archived, therefore it is no longer possible to report issues or to expect fixes. This means that they are unsupported and cannot fulfil the Hard Requirements

The maintainers of the module remain responsive when there are problems

"responsive" would imply "able to provide fixes"

Archived repos

Current status, ticked if now removed from citgm:

This is not an exhaustive list of packages based on archived repos. They are just amongst the list of failing citgm tests.

Suggestion

Remove the corresponding entries

Run the relevant citgm tests to confirm the unsupported packages are no longer included.
