That'd be great. Everyone's contribution to this feature is welcomed.
 

That said, RTL support, along with full unicode support, should be
considered preconditions to a modern text editor.  I'd suggest
starting a branch on github, and writing the code, integrating
upstream changes quickly so you don't diverge too much.  This would
also make it possible to rebase patches into ones that could be
committed upstream (such as making infrastructure changes) that might
be possible to be committed before the complete rework is done.

I created a branch of nano on github. You can access it via
