I missed that there were two separate blocks here, apologies.  I also
resonded to your other message, but it's held up in moderation because I
talk too much (6KB > 5KB limit).

We would love to have your help.

We want these things too.  We're just a little more measured about
implementing them.  Here's the thing - it depends on having more dev
time to get it done.  More developers = more developer time, and
it's been pretty much just Kevin for quite a while - years!  Action
happens where there are people participating.  We really want people to
participate.

I had no idea until a week ago that there were like six of you gathered
here doing good work, under another label.
