I really appreciate your enthusiasm, and please don't take this the
wrong way, but could you perhaps try to focus on more important things?
For example, I've been hoping you would comment on

Updating the copyrights is a meaningless, almost entirely automatic
task, that only one person can sensibly do. IMO, you really should not
waste time learning about it.
