I'm in favour of commiting this kind of work to our repository provided
that it is acompanied with comments like you made above to keep
potential helpers informed about the status. This makes sure your work
is not wasted and other takers do not need to start from scratch.

Currently this is not specifically high on my priority list (for

time to check a more or less working package.
Kind regards
