Last year's one example was wip/antlr (incidentally it's gone once again)

I think I had recreated this from scratch and it's gone again.

More recent examples of the packages I need are:

wip/py-chemlab
wip/py-chempy
wip/py-chemview

If possible, kindly restore. If there is any update needed to them I'll
try and do that.

I can also re-create them, but that just takes some time and effort that
could be saved.

Asking for objections before removal on the list could be an advisable
process.

Otherwise I think I'll need to keep them in a personal repository and soft
link under wip. But that limits their easy availability to other potential
users.
