Unfortunately, the fd.o menu spec is not so easy to write an editor
for.  Much of it is lack of time, I suppose.  But I'd imagine someone
might start working on it after we get 4.6 out the door, and release as
a standalone package, which would then get merged into our core
distribution for 4.8.  I'm not saying I'm volunteering at this point,
but... maybe.
