Looks good. Migrating to purely text files, independent of framework, is
a good step forward. K-9 zapped a mail I tried to send to you in another
reply saying such, so I felt it best to repeat it here. I like how we're
referencing and leveraging existing standards to improve interoperability.

If I had to find a nitpick, it's a minor feature request: can we get a
GLEP template file later on, to aid the initial drafting process? I
didn't see it in the repo.
