This probably isn't the right venue to talk about it (I hang out on
#bitbucket and #mercurial!) but, in short, yes I plan to work on the
backend and frontend where appropriate. For the short term, my plate is
filled with improving bookmark support and pull requests for hg repos.

If you'd like to bug me about old issues that are still open, feel free
to drop me a line on the channel :-)
