Realize no one is going to chime in "no", because there isn't any
central "I do this" registry.  If you don't get an "I do" response in
several days, then you have to interpret it as "we don't".  Possible
exception, many folks don't real -hackers anymore due to it's increased
noise level.  I think you don't need to be all that concerned, tho.

Do one, and post it, let's see.  If it's well written, could be.

You have to understand, no one is going to give you a yes or no, you
can't have that until you show code.  It's certainly been asked before,
and in fact some folks got really huffy about not being given a carte
blanche to work in a certain area, with prior understanding that their
work would be contributed.  That will NEVER happen ... do your work,
pick a target that won't be the largest, perhaps, and give it a trial
run.  Our system works pretty well, you'll see.  It's not perfect, but
no one has found a better way, yet.
