In bug#74994, Richard made a decision not to use org-element-ast and
instead implement a custom parser generator.

Richard, is there any specific reason why you had to make things from
scratch? May org-element-ast be changed to fit your needs?

If org-element-ast is not going to be useful outside Org mode, I see no
good reason to invest time into upstreaming it, after all.
