[Pkg-javascript-devel] RM proposal following Node 12 work

[Xavier]

Hi,

Node.js work on version 12 migration showed that some package may be
removed:
 * already removed:
   * node-mapnik + its reverse dependencies
 * proposed:
   * node-simplesmtp:
     + looks orphaned here (last update 2016-02-20)
     + looks orphaned upstream (last commit 2015-02-16)
     + deprecated in favor of "smtp-server"
       (https://www.npmjs.com/package/simplesmtp)
     + tests shows that library is buggy
     + less used:
       - popcon rank ~ 140000
       - dak reports shows no reverse build deps
   * html2canvas:
     + looks orphaned here
       - last update 2016-12-11
       - blocked in unstable for a while
     + not easy to upgrade now (needs babel 7, some @types and
       many new modules)
     + unused:
       - popcon == 0 !
       - dak reports shows no reverse build deps
     + nobody reports a removal problem when we discuss on it around
       august 2019 [previous thread]

Let's ask these ROM-RM ? At least node-simplesmtp should be removed.
