Maybe we should just crowdfund this thing.  It's been far too long, and
there have been too many failed attempts at it.  Maybe past attempts
were abandoned because it turned out to be far too much more work than
was anticipated, and what it takes is somebody to get paid to dedicate
their full time to slogging through all the tedious/complicated bits
until it gets to the finish line.
