This discussion ended up encompassing a lot of other related cleanups. I
hope we didn't scare you away. :)

My understanding is that you were approaching this as a micro-project
for GSoC. I'd love it if you want to pick up and run with some of the
ideas discussed here. But as far as a microproject goes, I think it
would make sense to identify one or two no-brainer improvement spots by
hand, and submit a patch with just those (and I think Junio gave some
good guidelines in his reply).
