What & why

Five organization handles in _data/governments.yml no longer resolve — each returns a 404 on both github.com and the API. This updates the two that have a confirmed official successor and removes the three that are genuinely gone, so the listing stops pointing at dead links.

Each change was verified against the org's GitHub profile and its linked official government domain:

Country Old handle (404) Action Successor / rationale
France culturecommunication ✏️ rename → culturegouv Org "Ministère de la Culture", 12 repos, links to culture.gouv.fr
Switzerland BFS-SHS-MSAS ✏️ rename → BFS-Web Org "Bundesamt für Statistik – Web Diffusion", links to bfs.admin.ch
Japan city-of-kobe 🗑️ remove No official City of Kobe org (only civic-community/personal accounts)
U.K. Councils GuildfordBC 🗑️ remove Handle gone; no replacement org for the council
U.S. Federal internationaltradeadministration 🗑️ remove Org and its Pages developer portal deleted; no successor

One note for maintainers: the Swiss BFS-Web org is official (admin.ch domain) but was created recently and currently has no public repos yet. Happy to drop that entry and keep it a straight removal instead if you'd prefer only orgs with published repos — let me know.

Verified: all five old handles 404; both successor orgs return 200 and link back to official government domains.

Five handles in the list no longer resolve on GitHub (all return 404).
Update the two with confirmed official successors and remove the three
that are genuinely gone:

- France: culturecommunication -> culturegouv (Ministère de la Culture)
- Switzerland: BFS-SHS-MSAS -> BFS-Web (Bundesamt für Statistik)
- Japan: remove city-of-kobe (no official successor org)
- U.K. Councils: remove GuildfordBC (no replacement)
- U.S. Federal: remove internationaltradeadministration (org deleted)
