[Bug-indent] New Feature and Development Update?

I have added a new feature to my copy of indent, and I'd be happy to send
a patch should the maintainers have an interest.

The feature (which I have tentatively labeled -icb or
--indent-closing-brace) indents the final brace in a block at the same
level as the enclosed code rather than having the final brace pop back to
the same level of the opening brace.  This means that the first thing that
sticks out when you scan downwards is the next parallel unit of the
program, which is easier for me to read.

My other question is what is happening with development.

The code for choosing the point to break a line is described as
preliminary, and there have been no releases I know of recently.  I'd love
to see more options for prioritization, especially a way to support the
GNU coding standard of breaking before all operators rather than just the
logical operators that are currently supported.

Is there a way I or others could be of service?  Is there somewhere other
than the GNU and the freeserve websites and this mailing list to find
news?

Thanks,

Dan
