I'd rather ask on emacs-devel for volunteers to carry on the original
plan.  I can coordinate the effort if that would help (assuming people
who'd like to work on this agree for me to be the coordinator).

FWIW, I'm trying to arrange for some free time in a few months so that
I could make some progress in this matter, but given the past
experience, I don't recommend to count on that.
