Sorry, but I am not sure what you are asking. I was looking at the code, noticed NEEDSWORK comment and worked on cleaning things up---you seem to feel that I need a reason, or perhaps even your permission, when I try improving the codebase? That starts to sound a bit ridiculous. As different developers are multiple people, it just happens that areas somebody changes overlap an area somebody else wants to change. It's not like anybody owns a piece of source file when s/he expresses an interest to work on something that may or may not affect that area.
