I'm happy to hear that!

I have more!  Reports about augmentation dots, dynamics and
articulation placement, stem lengths, horizontal spacing, tie shapes,
beam positions - You name it!
All i need is time to write them in a tidy manner - it's extremely
time-consuming.  I estimate that this Lyrics Report took about 30
hours to write, and i was collecting engraved examples since summer.
I'll do my best adding more reports - however some other things, like
improving contributor workflow and organizing a Kickstarter project,
keep my mind busy...  not mentioning GSoC.

Sure!  I'm writing my GSoC application now (it will include my plan
for doing these issues), and i'll post it on the list when it's
finished (hopefully today) - please comment on it!

Sure, any help with testing and designing good solutions is welcome!
I'll keep you informed.
