[Popcon-developers] Removing popcon entries from the future...

Alain Schroeder just sent me an email about three popcon submissions
from the future.  He had discovered three submissions from 2013, 2016
and 2020 in the collected popcon submissions, and suggested I removed
them.  I had a look, and sure enough, I found three entries from the
future using this oneliner:

  cd /org/popcon.debian.org
  perl -MFile::Find -e 'find(sub { if ( -f $_ && (stat(_))[9] > time()) { print "$_\n"; } }, qw(popcon-mail/popcon-entries));'

Trusting that time travel is not yet possible, and thus not something
we should take into account for popularity-contest, I moved these
entries away from the popcon-entries/ directory and into a
from-the-future directory.  I suspect we should remove them, but
wanted to check with the rest of you before I did something impossible
to undo.

Happy hacking,
