It's probably helpful to create a ticket and claim it (and update the
project ideas list to link to it), so other people don't try to work
on it as well. (I have a feeling that it might have been among the
things Nirmal was looking at, but I'm not sure what the state of that
was.)

This is mentioned in our draft developer guide
(https://xapian-developer-guide.readthedocs.org/en/latest/contributing/new-contributors.html#picking-something-to-start-with),
but that's a very recent thing so I don't expect anyone to have
actually found it by themselves. (I strongly recommend reading through
it, along with xapian-core/HACKING, as there are some useful tips that
will help you get your work ready for review and merge.)
