I would be happy to see this!  I have some outstanding patches posted
on this list that need some minor fixes before being applied.

If this happens, I would be happy to receive any comments regarding
the quality of the code.

I only saw Alan in the Cc, but Viktor is in the Cc to this email.

Some of interface-choices of ox-koma are inspired by ox-groff, though
documents are not compatible. By now I think ox-koma-letter is
slightly more feature-rich.  KOMA-scrip is probably more feature rich
than groff, though only a subset of the features are available through
ox-koma-letter.
