Joaquim,

Assuming this isn't false modesty, it might be better if you acted as
tester and perhaps providing some patches rather than taking on primary
responsibility.

Paavo Jumppanen has proposed some substantial upgrades to the netcdf
driver ...   too comprehensive for me to make a quick analysis.  Perhaps
you could try integrating them in a local build and test them to see if
they seem appropriate?
