Of course it does need work. He started it from scratch almost a week ago; it 
is surprising he brought something working so quickly. Still benchmarks and 
security improves are needed; maybe use JSON to serialize info... But he needs 
some more time 

I think that elpa is a better place to have this ATM. But maybe he can host it 
somewhere in savannah to start with? So the others could start collaborating 
with him in parallel? I don't know the procedure for that.
