Comment (by sluicebox):

 Good idea, you can break it up into smaller pieces and even submit them as
 PRs.

 I don't think there's a particular policy here, but I see a detection
 entry as some kind of promise that the game runs in some form. So for fan
 games, I think it's good that at least one knowledgeable person has tried
 each out. Otherwise it would be kind of weird for ScummVM to detect the
 game, know the name, and then just crash immediately or something.

 And I think in this case that "one person" is going to be you! =)

 For an example of how "just a fan game detection entry" can turn into
 something much bigger once someone tries playing the game: #11552

 Haha, although the wrong lesson to take from that is that I'll play your
 fan games and add all the third party features they rely on and fix all
 the memory corruption they do. That was a rare exception! =)
