Well, we can always try.  I will post a mail on emacs-devel and ask
for volunteers to do it, but I will also suggest the inclusion of
emacs-bidi into current CVS if no volunteer can be found.

The reason I have not much hope is that whenever tricky redisplay
problems used to come up a few month ago, RMS used to CC Gerd and ask
his opinion.  Perhaps Jan D and Kim Storm have had a lot more exposure
to the redisplay code in the meantime.  Having them onboard would
certainly be a good thing.
