I can explain a little more about the motivation.

bonsai is old code, and written in very old-fashioned perl. As such, security 
bugs are frequently filed against it, and it's very hard to find people who are 
willing and able to fix them. If you are willing and able, let me know: I can 
hook you up with bugs as they arise.

I'd like to explore other ways of getting at the same data. For example, the 
search parts of bonsai should be able to be replaced with DXR in the very near 
future - I understand multi-tree support is landing in DXR next week (although 
we won't turn it on for a few weeks after that since we're waiting for the new 
UI to land too).

I'll dig further into possible options and report back. If you want to help, 
know of a great modern replacement for bonsai, or would like to own it, let me 
know.
