[Pkg-javascript-devel] Removing babel 6: Call for help

[Pirate Praveen]

hi team,

We now have babel 7 in bullseye and babel 6 is already unmaintained 
upstream. So I'd like to remove babel 6 from the archive. For this, we 
need to port all packages currently build depending on babel 6 to build 
with babel 7.

You can see the status on migration at 
https://wiki.debian.org/Javascript/Nodejs/Transitions/Babel7

Roughly 33 of them are reverse build dependencies of 
node-rollup-plugin-babel, node-gulp-babel, node-grunt-babel and 
node-babel-loader (only node-babel-loader and its reverse build 
dependencies is remaining in this list). 26 of them fixed already.

Roughly 50 of them were direct build dependency on src:node-babel and 
10 of them fixed already.

It'd be great if you can help port some of them. In most cases, a 
simple change in build dependencies and plugin name changes in 
.babelrc/package.json/webpack.config.json/rollup.config.json/gulpfile.js/gruntfile.js 
is enough (you can see the commits in the fixed packages for 
references. An example commit is -> 
https://salsa.debian.org/js-team/node-filesize/-/commit/7e2df0d62e237ee6c3f8214c2e030cccacde07ce 
)

If you'd like to help, please edit the wiki page and add your name next 
the module you are working on, to avoid conflicts with other team 
members.
