You can remove History without any doubt.  This is the first thing that
is usually done after importing a new package into Emacs CVS.

What is needed to make tumme.el more maintainable right now is regrouping
functions and variables related to separate functionalities within one file.
Currently many related functions and variables are littered to different
parts of tumme.el.  The standard way to group related code is like below:

^L

;;; Generate gallery

(defcustom tumme-gallery-dir ...

(defcustom tumme-gallery-hidden-tags ...

... other gallery user options

... gallery internal variables

...

(defun tumme-gallery-generate ()
...

... other gallery commands
