        Hi,
I do not want to steal the thread, but when talking about ports to
Meson, would it make sense to finally fix the infrastructure to work
with other than automake files too [1]? It's when generating the
content for developer.|help.gnome.org. Considering that plenty of
projects already use Meson, either exclusively or as an alternative for
autotools scripts, then it would be a good idea, from my point of view.
I'd help myself there, but I do no speak pythonish. I guess someone
with the knowledge would have that fixed relatively quickly.
        Thanks and bye,
        Milan
