Hello Tim,

> Do you plan to rewrite docscan using mdr apis?

it'd restrict functionality on java source files only.
Second, I'd not expect comments being primary
use case for MDR/javacore.

> How could the code for scanning java files be reused in tasklist/i18n?

Here, I suggest to reuse i18n module functionality. tasklist/i18n
should be just small integration bridge with no i18n related logic.
Created suggestion should delegate to original i18n module code.
See javaparser, pmd, checkstyle and javadoc tasklist integration
modules. 

Warning: javadoc contains stale copy-pasted code from javadoc module.
It just reminds me that very original intention was to expose
Suggestions API and let other modules integrate using it. The
reverse model used now unfortunately requires public contract
from relevant modules. Module owners are reluctant to provide
it.
