Possibly, I can try, we'll see.

I don't speak either :-/.

I googled to see if there is a python/perl ctags implementation we can
'borrow' and found https://github.com/universal-ctags/ctags instead.
That seems to be a continuation of exhuberant ctags, I can also try if
they're interested in --sort-kinds or something like that.
