I'd be happy if you simply picked up patch 3 and left out patch 4. It gets us most of the way there, which is good enough for most things. It's even possible to handle the litdd attribute on the command line, so the only thing we'd really lose is the linkgit links. Alternately, I'm happy to be responsible for maintaining the extensions.rb file. The asciidoc.conf file has not had a substantive (non-comment) change since 2012, and it has not had a change that would require an update to the extensions since 2010. I don't anticipate that keeping it up-to-date will require a significant amount of work. We can even drop it into contrib if you think that's a better place. It's really up to you which you'd prefer. -- brian m. carlson / brian with sandals: Houston, Texas, US +1 832 623 2791 | http://www.crustytoothpaste.net/~bmc | My opinion only OpenPGP: RSA v4 4096b: 88AC E9B2 9196 305B A994 7552 F1BA 225C 0223 B187
