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 http://debbugs.gnu.org/15754 . 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.
