But then again: XAPI has been written by a single person, in (what we
consider) an esoteric programming language, in their spare time. So if
someone really wanted to do it better, it should be a breeze to
implement the same, or even an improved, interface with a "standard"
toolbox.

I believe so.

There's no single maintainer. Anyone who gains knowledge about something
being broken puts that information there.

Some (most?) of the tag analysis tools (tagwatch et al.) offer the user
a XAPI download link for a given key-value combination. Also, I think
that many users manually execute XAPI queries and load the results in an
editor to make mass edits. (This is often frowned upon.)
