The understaffed/incremental approach is precisely why I chose what seemed a
simple case to test with, before potentially submitting a bunch of them.

I've found some other annoying properties of how people seem to be using
licenses; the BSD 3 Clause license in particular seems to see a lot of
variation; my test set is currently the top 280 modules on NPM, and I've been
manually investigating every package that couldn't be matched. I took the
approach of writing overrides in the SPDX markup syntax for a couple of the
licenses, but found it to be a bit difficult/clunky once I needed a bit more
flexibility.

I'd be happy to join a call and talk about my findings if you'll have me, and
as this discussion has kind of taken a turn for the broader, if you can direct
me to the appropriate place to continue it, I'll post there.
