Well... :-)

This sounds great!

It's a bit more convoluted to fork FreeType on freedesktop.org since
you have to request permissions.  I suggest instead that you register
on

  https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/users/sign_up

and I give you developer permissions for

  https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/freetype/freetype-web

so that you can create a branch directly in our repository.  To do
that, I need your registered user name.  Would that be OK for you?
