Besides that it looks like a useful option, (with this chance) I would
like to suggest a new project, with the simple purpose to gather or to link,
to all those patches from different sources for different purposes and
needs, that are not *yet* on the mainline or for some reasons they will
never be.
This will help:
- to redirect people when looking for a feature that is not yet
available in the mainline
- to help Bram integrate a patch, when the patch is mature or there
is a demand for it
- to be easy to contribute for a (possible) better implementation
or for a simple fix
- to have a centralized place to all those patches, to help users
extend their vim in various (sometimes unlimited) ways
I know at least (besides Markus Heidelberg's relativenumber patch):
[1] Vince Negri's Conseal patch
[2] Bill McCArthy's & Ben Schmidt's (some more math functions)
[3] Konstantin Korikov's langmapmb (very useful in multibyte locales)
[4] vimGdb
[5] vimshell
... and I am sure there might be others.
As a host I would suggest code google [6], as it has svn access, an issue
tracker and a wiki. A link to this project from the official vim site, will
be appropriate (with the usual warnings), although not strictly
necessary. A link also from the vim wiki it seems natural.
Just an idea.
