Has anyone privately contacted the maintainer with a specific plan? Something short-term and targeted like..."In the next 30 days I'd like to help you push out a point release that adds support for 3-10 new language scanners; no internal refactorings. I'm guessing you're swamped, so if you'll add me as a GH contributor, I'll do all the integration and testing legwork on a new branch. Once I think things look solid, I'll sync back up with you to review for the point release." Jon -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
