So far, it is only you and me talking about that feature in response to your request for comment, and I am personally not very interested in it, at least not yet, so it's only you at this point. That may be because of new year break, or that may be because people do not think it is worthwhile to only replace "**BLURB***", or we may have to give others some more time to chime in. Don't get that discourage and stop you, though. "This was written for my own use, friends with different workflows picked it up, have been using it and it made their lives better, and I have been using it myself for a few weeks while polishing it to help my own and their workflows." might be the best way for a new feature to come into the world, and you can do that "polish to help my own" part without having "them". FWIW, the format-patch itself appeared at the end of May 2005 and after having been ignored by Linus for a little more than a month it landed in early July 2005 ($gmane/4324, $gmane/4843, $gmane/5446 and $gmane/5677) after exactly such a process.
