I'm not sure this is Eric's task,
git blame lisp/org-src.el | cut -d' ' -f 3 | sort | uniq -c

but Carsten may have a view. I also want to change the customize group of a lot of those
variables: a lot of the org-src-* and org-edit-src-* variables are filed
in Customize under
Org Structure -> Org Edit Structure
which has to be one of the least intuitive things in the whole of Org!
There's a question of whether we have an Org Src customize group in
addition to the Babel customize group, and how we keep them distinct. In
fact, that may be what has prevented this from being sorted out thus
far.
