If I commit to working on it, and try to show some sort of
proof-in-the-pudding, the issue returns to the problem I mentioned
before which is hosting it.  I had originally mentioned the idea of
opening a branch for it. However, I don't have commit access to the
ASF repository, yet, and I felt too new to be asking for it.  Since I
have made everyone aware that I would do the work, and the
overwhelming consensus seems to be "integrate-instead-of-migrate", I'm
ready to start prototyping in my spare time.  Would you grant me
access to commit the finished prototype if turns out to be good
pudding?

Since you use it regularly, how do you personally feel about it?
