I personally don't object to people still using it for their own
purposes, even if PPAs (I know they suffer from the same-version problem
mentioned earlier), VCSes and other tools do a similar job.

If that's the general concensus, maybe we should also add a piece of
text on REVU itself? The other pages I know that would need updating
would be https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/Packages/REVU and
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/NewPackages

Any others?

Have a great day,
 Daniel
