This is a great development. I am sure torsocks has enough issues for
two developers.

The next logical could be to get control over the old google code
hosting, close the google code tracker, announce a news and redirect
users and to import everything to torproject.org trac.

Once I can post to the issue tracker I will help with testing, reporting
bugs, patch the usewithtor/uwt script to your liking (if like me to and
don't want to put this into the core). No miracles either.

Cheers,
