Currently, incoming is an 11GB mess of files of which noone knows
whether they are still needed for an open bugreport, whether
they belong to a PEBCAK bug and thus could be deleted, whether
they are an important sample and should be retained, etc pp.

I'm basically unqualified to sort these samples, as i'm out of
touch with development for years. Hence i've asked many times
that someone should take a look at those files and sort them
accordingly. Not much has happend and those who tried, have
been blocked by others with concerns that can be summed up
to "i cannot find my files anymore, if you move them"

That would mean that we would have to modify the mailinglist archives
and the roundup db. Both are not feasible.

Ofcourse. I give anyone a chance to help who wants to.
