I would like to set up a version control repository, mailing  list, and bug
tracking here on Savannah, given that none of that currently exists (or at
least not publicly).

There have been old plans to eventually merge patch with diffutils. At this
point it is neither clear whether this should be done, nor when it would
happen. Meanwhile, enough bug fixes and non-bug fix improvements have
accumulated, and a new release with these things incorporated is overdue.

Alas, I fully agree with Karl.
