I'm certainly ready; I didn't propose any projects that I would not
also mentor.  (However, I won't mentor more than one...)

Note that while it's certainly a bonus, porting it to C probably makes
the project more difficult and time-consuming.  We'll have to see in
the proposal timelines however.

As for cleanup, my gut feeling right now is that the Perl code can
probably cope with incremental cleanups as required for each feature.
On the other hand, the C port should start from a clean redesign so as
to not rewrite it twice.
