Given the ITS has been idle for quite some time, I would be happier if 
this were reviewed and accepted upstream before we pull it into our 
package. Just in git master would be fine, we don't have to wait for it 
to appear in a stable release.

Would you be willing to ping upstream and/or the author about the status 
of getting that module added in git?

thanks,
Ryan
