…I should take the advice of LanX and bow out… Again, you are either misinterpreting me or just don’t know enough about any of this to know what you’re saying. To be clear, I’m on your side with making markup easier and allowing more automated formatting. That’s not really in dispute by anyone. You’re just raising hackles because “you can try to do it if you want but none of us is in a big hurry and it’s not as easy as you think” isn’t a good enough answer.

I don't think anyone would ever want the job

I want the job; specifically, to share the job with like-minded devs. That’s half the reason to migrate to modern practices like a public git repository. It lowers the barrier to contribution to just about nothing. I’ve submitted patches to two Perl projects this year already. I just don’t have the time to commit to a serious project and I’m not flaky enough to start a project I know I wouldn’t have time for and for the reasons already cited.
