Just a heads-up, I have been reviewing all the tickets about
startupitems recently (after having ideas percolate for a long time) and
have just started committing code. I may close most or all of the
existing tickets in the not too distant future.

No doubt there is still more that could be done; just be aware this work
is happening when planning any potential GSoC project.
