Broken links and invalid install files in OS2006 section.

Who do we report invalid install files and/or file not found errors to w.r.t. the maemo.org OS2006 download area?

Notable examples of what appear to be broken and/or obsolete links are

Diskusage:
http://maemo.org/downloads/product/OS2006/diskusage/

Dates:
http://maemo.org/downloads/product/OS2006/dates/

GPE Todo:
http://maemo.org/downloads/product/OS2006/gpe-todo/

etc.

In the case of DiskUsage, it appears the author has completely deleted his repositories (which the install file references). Not sure what the issue is with the others.

Minirant:

Why is is that the OS/2 community is able to maintain multiple software repositories that go back 20 years or more, but the maemo community has issues with software going back more than two? Is there that little respect for legacy versions here?

Clicking the Install button on all three pages I don't see any issues. The .install file is found.

There is the "Website" product in bugs.maemo.org for bug reports.

*yawn*... I wonder what "the maemo community" is in this case.
