To manage expectations: I haven't seen anyone say they're going to work
on this. I recall Sid mentioning it *could* be done (not offering to do
it) and Adhemerval made a similar remark, but I don't think anyone has
said they're undertaking this work.

If I've missed some other remark (very possible with the length of the
thread!), let me know of course.
