Hi,

gulp-jshint is not needed, just to patch gulpfile.js.
However, node-funtional.js was accepted to unstable 146 days ago, but:
  * never build cleanly
  * no source upload for 6 month
  * no git activity
  * no question/help asked to JS Team list

So this package looks unmaintained and shouldn't migrate to testing.

Same for: jquery-datetimepicker, jquery-sortablejs, 
libjs-php-date-formatter, node-base16, materialize, node-bash-color, 
node-blacklist, node-create-react-class, node-grunt-timer, node-is-wsl,...
