This has been an issue before, in conjunction with not even knowing
who the nominal maintainer was. E.g. someone submitted a patch almost
a year ago https://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-devel/2021-March/058688.html
after asking on IRC how to make a merge request and being told...
dunno, looks like you can't? Can we just turn on MRs for these
projects?

I see Zack recently joined the project on Gitlab and pushed to master,
so Cc'ing him.

Maybe we could make a libRAMDAC out of the removed files and these
drivers could link against it. I'll give that a shot when I have time.
