Thanks for the update Russell. I know of the unofficial effort by the All Buttons Pressed guys - I've just started using it at this week!
Personally, I think the best approach would be inclusion of the unofficial branch, to save work reimplementing what's already been done. Is there anything I could be actively doing to speed up the process, or help it in any way? Thanks, Nathan.
