Chuckle! You should of seen some of the hacks I had in place while Jon was
nudging me to publish the source. Actually, come to think of it, I'm kinda
glad that you didn't. ;-)
Note: when I started, I knew precisely zero about XSLT.

Oh, I have more than enough reputation. ;-)

Lets discuss this for a moment. Clearly a few people including yourself
have demonstrated a deep understanding of what Gump is and have good ideas
about what it should become.
Let me be blunt about my concern: if I screw up, literally thousands of
people (perhaps even tens of thousands of people) will get an e-mail with
my name on it the very next morning. Perhaps dozens.
There also are some very serious security concerns, which I do not care to
elaborate on at the present time.
So what I want to discuss before opening this up a bit is how to structure
a "staging area" for changes. Perhaps the right thing to do is to have a
separate branch. Or a separate proposal directory. And it is not that I
don't trust people, once people are given commit authority, I will trust
that they only make changes into the "live" branch/directory/whatever when
they are fairly confident. Other changes should go into some sort of
staging area.
Thoughts?

Clearly Ant is OK. Jon and others have said that Perl is OK. Therefore
Python is too.
My advice is to pursue your interests.
