+  bumping into /proc/sys/fs/pipe-user-pages-* limits
+
+* make "git cat-file --batch" detect unlinked packfiles so we don't

+* linter to check validity of config file
+
+* linter option and WWW endpoint to graph relationships and flows
+  between inboxes, addresses maildirs, coderepos, etc...
+
+* pygments support - via Python script similar to `git cat-file --batch'
+  to avoid startup penalty.  pygments.rb (Ruby) can be inspiration, too.

-* investigate native grokmirror support/integration
+* fix search for messages with multiple Subject:/To:/From:/Date:
+  headers (some wacky examples out there...)
