You see, it is written in Tcl, so it may not be a desirable addition given that the plugin and the other fast-import sources are written in Python.  Also, it may be that no one would be interested given Monotone's lagging popularity.

Hi Mike,

Yes - it's worth submitting the source you've written.
The preferred way to do it is use a Launchpad "merge
request", i.e. submit a branch with your code and ask
for it to be merged into the trunk.

I've give the code a look over before merging it,
mainly to ensure there's nothing malicious there.
It's been around 20 years since I last wrote any
Tcl - best *not* to rely on me for reviewing it
in any depth. :-) If someone else would care to
once you've got it cleaned up, that would be great.
