Now that http://drupal.org/community-initiatives/drupalorg/distribution-packaging is almost completely done, there are only a pretty tiny number of rules that drupal.org enforces on .make files. The original reason for convert-makefile to exist is mostly gone. The code is complicated, ugly, and doesn't even fully work:
#1371312: Refactor convert code?
#1404782: update convert-makefile to work with more lax packaging system restrictions

Over a week ago, I posted Proposal: kill off the drush convert-makefile functionality over at the Distribution profiles group on g.d.o. There have been 0 replies.

So, I'm opening this issue to officially request that we completely purge all traces of convert-makefile from the drupalorg_drush codebase and d.o documentation. See also #1475956: Remove web UI for verifying and converting drush make files.
