I don't care much either way. I long ago had to start filtering the cc's
on list emails into a separate spot from my main inbox. So I can happily
ignore that separate folder. :) As far as combing through the backlog, I
expect I'd just have to declare bankruptcy anyway.

Yes, there's nothing in there that I wouldn't sign-off. But just to make
things more clear, I went through and added one to all of the commits in
the repository.

You or anyone else is welcome to mine it for ideas or code. There are
dragons, of course, but a lot of it is working code that I just didn't
get around to polishing. Any branch not marked with "-wip" is something
that I merged into my daily-driver version of Git, and passed all tests.
So at least it shouldn't be _too_ broken. :)

Thanks for thinking about these logistical issues.
