Hi Matthias, Thank you for looking into this, I did go over KIP-1071 and I do feel that I would be duplicating the work once it is done. I was looking into issues for new contributors and landed on that one seeing it marked as "code cleanup". I hope you could steer me in the right direction for new contributions perhaps over to some specific module.
Meanwhile, I am looking over issues under the labelled "newbie" to work on. Best Regards, Naveen On Wed, Aug 19, 2026 at 4:00 AM Matthias J.
