This seems very useful.

It could perhaps be more useful with some additional documentation 
describing what problem it solves, how it solves it ... and how it is run.

Looking at the example, I wonder what strategy it uses to handle 
conflicts between groups created in LDAP and groups created in 
Kallithea, and how it handles conflicts between changes from LDAP 
changes and changes in Kallithea.

Also, how about using usernames and group names in the configuration 
instead of IDs?


You can perhaps contribute a patch to the Kallithea documentation 
mentioning your tool.

Ultimately, it would be nice to get it reimplemented in Python so we 
could ship it with Kallithea.
