I have no objections to any of these, though I would recommend as Gwern hinted that if related packages are to be removed that they should also be given new homes - I believe that the lambdabot source is currently the main home of these packages.

Random thought, feel free to ignore it: Would it make sense to split lambdabot up into core and contrib like is done with xmonad? Contrib could contain the sillier things like bf, unlambda, show, etc and would have a lower bar for contributors. Core would be the standard things and the essential things.

It seems that people don't really contribute new plugins these days but it would be great if they did. For example, having a plugin for liquid types would be super spiffy. Also, any plugin that helps people to reason about other code (like vacuum).
