No need to be sorry about that. Things happen.

Whenever I talk with people running mid-size to large numbers of

the Installer, in particular its way to partition disks. I must
admit that I am not partman's best friend either.
A few years back there was an effort to introduce Growlight as a
Partman replacement. I even began to experiment by preliminary adding
reiser4/5 support to Growlight code at the time. Please see old
thread:

How well would that be automatable?
Yet, I do not know what happen to the project as it went silent.
Probably the developer of Growlight might be interested in working
with you on such an ambitious project[?!]
I do not plan to develop a new partitioner. I am intersted in small
modifications to the installer that would allow more flexibility
externally. I neither have the programming skills for a project that
size nor do I have the time for that.
Greetings
