Filtering most of these packages takes 5 minutes each, or less. But agda2-mode takes 17 and cmake-mode takes 50; so I no longer update these two. Actually I plan to explicitly update these two once or twice a year (but that depends on my randomly running into this note). Last update was on 2026-01-29.

cmake-mode: I have no account on this gitlab instance, not contacted
diffscuss-mode: https://github.com/tomheon/diffscuss/issues/43
po-mode: mailing list, not contacted
thrift: issues disabled, not contacted

Other repositories that should be filtered (or better yet, split up by upstream):

clang-format: https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/58902
google-c-style: https://github.com/google/styleguide/issues/726
nemerle: https://github.com/rsdn/nemerle/issues/13359
