This is probably a stupid question but how do you review them manually?
I have a couple files that are manpages, that's easy. signify-keys, too.
There is some sgi stuff, also easy, retirement is known.
Same goes for switchd-related things.
But what about the rest? Assuming you don't just know everything about
those files already, do you find(1)/grep(1) through the source tree and
commit messages or is there a different way?
Best regards,
