GFFutils is now largely unsupported and seems to be rarely used; it also has a name clash with a separate project which periodically causes confusion for external bioinformatians (see for example comment within to issue #36).

The actual path for deprecating a GitHub repository is not clear at this stage, however the following may be of some use:
