I propose that a2ps and its associated psutils is orphaned ... there has been
no activity by the originator/maintainer since 2000. The associated mailing
list has had little traffic other than spam in years.
HOWEVER, I would also propose keeping it in Core since it serves a very
useful basic function of pretty-printing many forms of source code files.
Nevertheless, I would also agree that it should be moved to Extras when that
is more operational.
I, personally, would not be willing to step up to maintenance although someone
else may be willing ... locale support is missing.
