Ok, seems I have to take the time to read the whole thread from the start.
- I don't want to bypass anyone;
- Perhaps a team could be formed?

Christiano: don't get intimidated. Beyond the procedures, most of this
will make sense once you get to practice.
Joris: I've only sponsored/mentored one person so far, but things went
smoothly and he is now flying on his own. You can have a look at the
procedure to become a DM there already [1], but I don't think we are
there yet. I have still to have a look at what you have done,
formulate some constructive comments on how to improve your files (if
applicable/necessary) but also, have a look at how it was previously
done.

The ball is mostly in my camp right now, unless another DD steps up to
help mentor this package (help is definitely wanted). As I mentioned,
my free time is very limited but I care very much about GHDL so I feel
like I have to do something.

Cheers,

-Pascal
