Sounds great, and thank you for giving me more context on Snowball in general.
I hope I'm not raising some we've-been-through-that-before issue: is

possibly GitHub? Git makes it so much easier to collaborate. I can
always maintain an unofficial mirror on Git, but, well, it's not the
same.
Thank you again!
