I have some outstanding patches posted on this list that need some minor fixes before being applied. If this happens, I would be happy to receive any comments regarding the quality of the code. > There is one thing to consider, though: Viktor Rosenfeld (Cc'ed) > contributed a significant number of lines of code to the file but hasn't > signed FSF papers, AFAIK.

Though, AFAICS, Groff is more limited than LaTeX. Some of interface-choices of ox-koma are inspired by ox-groff, though documents are not compatible. By now I think ox-koma-letter is slightly more feature-rich. KOMA-scrip is probably more feature rich than groff, though only a subset of the features are available through ox-koma-letter. -- I almost cut my hair, it happened just the other day
