Take a look in git.  Who's been editing the import script, doing
updates, editing the LSR section in the CG, etc?

Excellent!  I'll let you and Phil sort out who wants to do what.

Yes, it's a shame that nobody ever looked into Tomcat.  I'm sure
that there's tutorials and blogs and stuff out there about how to
do this.  This could be a nice 10-hour Frog project, if anybody
was interested in recuiting+mentoring such an effort.

Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if there's somebody reading
lilypond-user who deals with this stuff for their day job, and can
set up this stuff in their sleep.

Unless there's a person who's clearly responsible for LSR -- as
I'm proposing that we make Phil -- that's a recipe for stuff never
getting fixed.

Great!  Phil doesn't (quite yet) have git access.  Do you still
have your old login, in which case could you do a LSR import?
AFAIK the instructions in the CG are still valid.

... or do you want me or Neil to do it?
