Hello,

After reading thread "new commitfest transition guidance"[0],
and as patch author, I decided to write short summary for this
committfest entry[1].

Last patch has version 8, example output and code are here[2].
Proposed approach to \du command has not found positive responses
for several months. From this point of view the commitfest entry can be
closed (Returned with feedback/Rejected - not sure).

But Robert suggested to think about \du output in another direction[3].
I find it very interesting, but I haven't had time to try it.
And I know for sure that I won't be able to find time until the summer.

I don't understand from new commitfest transition guidance
what to do with status of commitfest entry in this case.
May be it needs to be closed. And in a case I will be able to propose
a new version, I will open a new entry.

The commitfest entry now has Needs Review status and stayed in
the closed January commitfest.
