Thanks for pointing this out.

I do have powers to do this, so I've done part of this.  I've gone
through all the gnome-* projects on the +upstreamreport plus a bunch of
others that are listed on <https://launchpad.net/gnome>, and checked to
see if they have a current import, and created one if it's missing.

I haven't updated the dev focus if the project already had one set,
because I'm not sure if that would break something for someone.  My
guess is it won't break anything, can someone confirm?

Here are my notes of what I did/saw:

Already imported and set as dev focus (no change needed):
---------------------------------------------------------

gnome-settings-daemon
gnome-system-tools


Created git imports for:
------------------------

at-spi: ~vcs-imports/at-spi/trunk
bug-buddy: .../git-trunk
ekiga: .../git-trunk
eog: .../trunk
file-roller: .../trunk
gconf: .../trunk
gconf-editor: .../trunk
gnome-applets: .../trunk
gnome-bluetooth: .../trunk  [and set as dev focus]
gnome-common: .../trunk
gnome-cups-manager: .../trunk
gnome-desktop: .../trunk
gnome-games: .../trunk
gnome-media: .../trunk
gnome-terminal: .../trunk
gnome-utils: .../trunk
gnome-system-monitor: .../trunk
gnome-screensaver: .../git-trunk


Import already exists but is not dev focus:
-------------------------------------------

accerciser: ~vcs-imports/accerciser/main
gedit: ~jjardon/gedit/trunk
gedit-plugins: [now set]
glib: ~jjardon/glib/trunk
gnome-panel: ~vcs-imports/gnome-panel/master


Import exists but fails (even after retry):
-------------------------------------------

gnome-control-center
gnome-power-manager


Any project not listed I didn't look at.  As you can see there are now
many branches on this list that aren't set as the development focus that
probably should be.  There are also lots of ~gnome-bzr-mirror branches
that should probably just be deleted, at least the “remote” ones.
