I've uploaded my initial port¹ to Cosmic now. I realise this is a little
bit of a forward thing to do, since the code has some known bugs, and I
apologise for any irritation that you feel / have to face from users.

Hopefully you understand that we need to get moving on testing GNOME
3.29, and you agree there's enough time left this cycle to shake out
bugs or work on another strategy for keeping budgie rocking on.

Cheers,
