I'm really glad you wrote this. I think there is always possibility to help.
For example adding visibility marks to exported objects should be
easy, there are still some .map files to be processed.

I'm not sure but may be it's already planned to write some info somewhere.
If there are people willing to help, that's great.
Moreover, there is always possibility to learn.

I have to work now on converting modules to gbuild, so I could move on
with my GSoC project.
Maybe you could help.

Best,
Matus
