Brave!! :-)
Some might call it foolish or crazy, but I'll go with brave.
Please note that the parser PR needs to be submitted to Universal ctags, not Geany.
Yep.
Except for a couple of historical parsers Geany does not carry changes that are not in uctags, we have just finished a lot of effort to remove differences between Geany's parsers and upstreams. Therefore your parser "babysitter" would probably be best someone from uctags.
Okay.
The Geany parsers are usually updated from upstream uctags in bulk, although a Geany PR updating a single parser from upstream would probably be accepted.
I'm not sure what that means for Geany, but it's good that you do.
There will be changes to Geany as well to use the new information the parser produces. Note that there are limited experts on this (not me) and so response to questions might be a bit slow, best to ask in an issue on Geany github not email.
I decided to try email first, but will make an issue if that doesn't work. Now to wait and see if there's a response.
