As a comment from a peanut gallery, where the project board is not
even visible (https://github.com/orgs/numpy/projects/7/views/7 404s
for me --- it would be perfectly understandable if you prefer to keep
it visible to select individuals!), and it has probably been discussed
before: any thoughts to change it to e.g. tempita templating?
Translating .c.src templates to .c.in is straightforward if tedious,
as e.g. SciPy transition showed.
This is of course quite a bit of work, but so is a new utility.
Again, just throwing it out there :-).

Cheers,

Evgeni
