Well, in a way it is a relaxing diversion, yes. But it's more that,
now that we've voted, I don't want to see us stuck in a wait-wait loop
about actually implementing our choice. Didn't see anyone else saying
"I'll take care of this", so...

(Also I know Elisp, which might be important given that GNU indent
isn't going to help us.)

But if you want a crack at this, I'll happily step aside. Just say
the word :-).
