Thank you for your work. :)

That's what I thought as well however to my understanding "contrib" is
for packages that can satisfy their dependencies from "non-free" and
those games will hardly ever will be in "non-free".
ResidualVM is very similar to ScummVM which already belong to "main"
for a while. Also ftp-masters did not object for inclusion of
ResidualVM to "main".
I don't mind moving ResidualVM to contrib (if appropriate) but only if
some experienced DDs will suggest that as well.
