As outlined, the requirements seem to be pretty much those of any major
Open Source development project. Keeping this in mind might yield a
generic template usable by other projects in future.
Solving generic problems rather than specific ones does involve a little
more thought, (it's possible to get into an infinite regression of
abstractions), but the effort could be repaid by lower maintenance
burdens.
