It's good to ask. However, this project doesn't wish to maintain
something more complex than the tiny PMC tool already provided, as
pointed out in another reply in this thread.

This is also the beauty of open source: you can build on top of this
work and maintain what you need, even if the original authors do not
wish to do so.
