The RM can encourage me to do this; I've already been meaning to for a long time now. My reghunt scripts have grown into a system that works well for me, but I'd like to clean them up and document them so that others can use them. What I've got now is very different from what I used with CVS. I'd like at least two volunteers to help me with this cleanup and documentation effort by using my current scripts on regressions for open PRs and finding the places that are specific to my environment. I can either put what I've got now into contrib/reghunt, or send a tarball to the mailing list for people to use and check things in after they're generally usable. One silly thing holding me back is not quite knowing what needs copyrights and license notices and what doesn't. Some scripts are large and slightly clever, others are short and obvious. Janis
