Having just read your other reply to Ralf, I wanted to say that I
don't mean to be saying "don't do the work, ask someone to do it for
you". Filing a feature request was a suggestion for those that don't
have the developer mindset. As you indicate you have such, I would
revise my suggestion to opening a dialog with the two teams,
individually, and detail your ambitions. Try to get them to assist you
in understanding their code-bases. Fork each of the systems and
implement the cross-polination, before asking for them to merge your
changes when you think it's ready.

Alternatively attempt to unify the two systems (licenses permitting)
into a single back-end and publish independently. Then send patches to
each of the projects to switch their front-ends to use your back-end.
