Additional darcs repositories to be migrated? (working to convert the darcs repositories)

Hi all,

The current list of repositories to migrate from darcs to GitLab, is the
list shown on https://common-lisp.net/cgi-bin/darcsweb.cgi .

Are there any other repositories that need to be migrated to GitLab that
this community is aware of?

Thanks!

Regards,

Erik.
