Hi,

Thanks for the help, we need it :)

Currently we have a problem with moderating new projects because this
is time-consuming, and we're thinking it would be nice to (partially)
automate this, with a tool that would inspect source files, check for
good legal practices (license notices, copyright notices, license
compatibility, etc.) and other Savannah requirements. Both admins and
users could use it.

Would you be interested in writing such a tool?  Perl sounds suited
for this Extraction and Report task :)

I don't know about this, maybe ask #gnu on freenode?
