Actually I already changed the description after the ITP, following the
advices of another user. The current one is reported at the end of this
mail, the 'has' was fixed; the comma no: I just removed it. Thanks!

Note that I'm not the upstream maintainer, so you should better forward
your suggestion to upstream.

This is already implemented in gpscorrelate, according to the doc
available on the website (look for "interpolate" and "feather time").

This is already implemented as well (see "step 3" in the doc).

I don't think this is implemented. Could you please forward the request
upstream?

Regarding the two points above, do you think they are worth mentioning
in the long description? (I frankly don't, they are quite detailed,
something I would expect to be answered in the doc only).

Thanks for your attention for gpscorrelate.

Cheers.
