I ran across the gmch package by Andrea Corallo:
https://gitlab.com/koral/gcmh
This package adds a timer which runs GC during idle time. I'm not an
expert on GC, but the idea sounds good to me.
Stefan Monnier has picked up on this and already developed a patch, but
AFAICT, no patch was ever installed:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2019-04/msg01036.html
So this is mostly just to ask whatever happened to that patch, and if
this is something we would want to finish.
Best regards,
Stefan Kangas

The patch was not in a good enough state, it was just a "proof of
concept". Also, some details of the way allocation is counted and
allocation limits are computed have changed in the mean time.
So someone should write a new patch for that.
