Thanks!

Looked good, but did not apply, gave some suggestions on how to break it
up in reply to the patch directly.

I am not sure what the appropriate decorators(?) are here, simply due to
my ignorance of... latex(?) ... help from someone more savvy would be
great.

Was also a bit of a long patch, so potentially could be broken up
further like the whitespace issues.

Applied.

Again, these two used a lot of decorators(?), so I feel underqualified
here with regards to appropriate use, sorry.

Applied.


As you might see from the ones that actually got applied so far, the
spirit of my original offer was definitely more along the lines of small
handfuls of packages to review a few at a time, but the comprehensive
approach is also valid!

Thanks for whittling away at it it!


live well,
