I’d be happy to give this a try. Could you give me some hints on what 
code you think could / should be removed? (I think removing unneeded 
code first and then updating the remaining code to work with Ruby 2 is 
the most efficient strategy.)

To check if code isn’t used in other bundles before removing it: Would 
it be sufficient to search across all bundles that are listed in 
TextMate’s bundle index? (Btw, where can I find the source of this index?)
