Hello everyone,

quite some time has passed since this issue has last seen activity.  In my 
quest to clean
up the ever-filling issue-tracker, I'd like to know if there might be a status 
update
regarding the quest to update tree-sitter (and related packages), tree-sitter 
currently sitting at 0.20.10.

Just as a heads-up, there is another, much more focussed patch trying to update
tree-sitter to 0.24.3, albeit with apparent problems resulting in its waiting 
state.  I am
talking about bug#74148.

Unfortunately, I cannot offer any assistance simply because I am not at all 
acquainted
with the tree-sitter infrastructure.

Have a good day,
Olivier :)
