Welcome! I'm looking forward to working together (starting with an initial wireshark patch to get the lay of the land, then fleshing out the plan for the project, then executing on it in earnest).

A question for wireshark developers: are there preferences for what a high quality dissector looks like? [1] talks about portability and robustness but doesn't address other aspects of convention such as how long functions should be (like [2] does). Is there a rule of thumb like "when in doubt, do things the way <such-and-such dissector> does?"

Excited, Jonathan
