This is the main part of the job.
So many dependencies are typically "for npm use only", so it'd be nice to
use uscan/multiple tarballs features to package them together.
I don't have that time right now.

Would it be worth sharing these changes? How would you prefer to

Sure ! You could work on a branch of npm pkg-javascript repository,
and ask me for reviewing it and merging it. If all goes well, after that
first
review, you'll work directly on master branch.

That's also something quite time-consuming.
