Two questions: is any of that applicable to Python? Is any of that precluded by a migration to git and git-dpm? Meaning, sure that sounds like a cool tool to have but we'd probably have to adapt the Perl tool or write our own Pythonic one, and I don't get how that in any way influences our switch to git.
