And that, as if by magic, answers what was to be my next question... the koha-testing-docker instructions look comprehensive and I can try them out on my desktop, which seems to meet the requirements. My son, when I was discussing the project with him, said "you should do this in a docker container" and as usual he was right.

I presume that once/if I've got it working there's a submission process to get updates back to the main Koha branch.

All the best

That's great news, Nigel! I'm really happy that worked out.

Have you looked at koha-testing-docker? 
https://gitlab.com/koha-community/koha-testing-docker

You could do the development work on there and then wait/hope for it to flow 
down to your version?

You could send a request for an "openlibrary" code to be added to the

Honestly, I'm a little surprised there isn't already an entry for it
there. I'm sure they'd approve a request for it.

I've put in a request to the LOC. We'll see if anything comes of it.
They may request (I would do so in their place) that the request comes
from the Open Library itself in which case I'll have to chase that
route first.

Well, to my surprise LOC got back to me today and said they had added Open 
Library to the SISC list.

https://loc.gov/marc/relators/tn230808src.html

So we now have a standardised way to add OLIDs to a MARC record

024 7 _ | $2 openlib | $a <OLID>

And that means I can have a look at adding OLIDs to the cover art retrieval 
from Open Library... which means dusting off my... erk...
javascript. Which means sorting out sympa so I can get Koha up to date...
