Peter, Andre, I assume that one long-term goal is to get the git repos into good enough a shape to hope for mainline submission, isn't it? I don't have much time on my hands, but if I have enough to pester you with bugfix requests (thanks, btw, for 3168920!) I guess I can spare some to look at the git repos and try to help shape them up.
