Funny, I was thinking of all these things yesterday too...
I have also restructured commitpkg and co. quite a bit, and wanted to
send a bunch of 8 patches, but Evangelos was faster :) Now I cannot
easily rebase my branch, if at all :) Well, I now think I'll rather
setup my own git repo for devtools instead, and I'll send pull requests
to Aaron from time to time. That's more convenient than flooding the ML
with patches.
I have some ideas for refactoring devtools. I'll wikify them soon and
will report back ;)
