Thanks!
I will start working on the mysteries of a merge request shortly. I want
to make sure I have all my ducks in a row so I don't waste anybody's time.
This is the first time I have collaborated on a software project of any
kind, let alone a big one like Kicad.

I have been working for several months to incorporate RenumKicadPCB
functionality inside Kicad. Meanwhile, Alexander Shuklin has done
most of the heavy lifting by writing back-annotation into Kicad which
does all of the error checking, etc., necessary for re-annotation to
work. Without his help I don't think I could have done this.
Geographical re-annotation is under PCBNew/Tools. It should provide
the same functionality as RenumKicadPCB but from within Kicad. I am
hopeful I can submit a merge request which will be accepted so it
will become part of the distribution. Of course, given my modest c++
skills I suspect that will not go smoothly!
I have tested the code with all the projects I used to test
RenumKicadPCB and it appears to work. Besides renumbering correctly,
it seems to detect project errors such as modules in the PCB which
are not in the schematic, etc.
I would be grateful if people who are interested in this
functionality would help test it and let me know if they have any
problems or suggestions.

Hi Brian-
This sounds like great news. If you create a MR on GitLab we will
better be able to look it over. You can prefix it with "WIP:" to mark
it work in progress.
