Well, when I asked about I was told that they can be removed once
they are no longer used in the active branches, i.e. currently
RELENG_4, RELENG_5 and HEAD. I don't mind putting the entry for
src/contrib/patch back but it's not the first time that an entry
no longer used in an active branch is removed. E.g. rev. 1.6842
removed 180 of them and in rev. 1.6851 even the entry for the
doscmd(1) sources was removed despite they're still present and
used in RELENG_4.
