If a better candiate doesn't come forward, I'm willing to work w/ you
on these items.  A number of the items you listed I've been wanting to
do myself or I have been anoyed by them and wanted to fix.

Though I'm volunteering to help, don't forget that most patches should
still be reviewed publicly, so you'll want to keep working on the -geom
mailing list.

Thanks for your interest and work.
