Thanks for your pleasant comments. Please send future abuse to

Getting groff into a distributed VCS so that I can more easily hack on
it locally is in fact the first stage for me in figuring out how to get
the Debian packages updated without regressing things for Japanese
users: i.e. completing the character-class work that Brian Carlson
started but hasn't yet had time to finish. I've also recently been
adjusting man-db to cope more appropriately with groff 1.20, which is
also a prerequisite.
