Great!  As long as they keep the ham out of the spam and vice versa, and we can
occasionally get in touch for eyeball-verification of odd-looking FPs, that'll
be very useful ;)

It certainly is.

We've been meaning to improve this for several _years_ now, but it's never been
a high enough priority.  mass-check is very dev-oriented, and it should be
something bundled (and documented) at a similar level to the sa-compile or
sa-update scripts.

Here's history on the historical attempts which ran out of steam halfway
through:

BTW please ensure that changes in SA (which there will definitely need to be)
are submitted back upstream; IMO this functionality should be part of the core
package. ;)

Yes.
