Chipster would be a nice addition to BASE. Yes, MeV was a custom job,
and not too pretty to be honest. We have (internally) discussed to
change the MeV implementation. MeV support will be moved out from the
core package to become an external plug-in.

We agree with you, something more general is needed. We have discussed
this issue several times and always postponed it, there is so many
things to do. There is a very non-informative ticket related to this,
http://base.thep.lu.se/ticket/436 but to be honest, to see the
connection you need to join us in our coffee room.

We are working hard for the next milestone here, so we'd like to pick up
this thread after finalization of the milestone (due in two weeks). I
hope this is okay with you. And we appreciate your offer to contribute
to the project.
