Given that it can be quite complex and introduce new bugs, and given that it's really quite a useless feature IMHO as modern Linux boxes will hang themselves in swap hell before returning NULL from malloc I don't think this should be a janitorial project.
I suspect that some of the cases will be simple, some a bit more complicated, a few quite involved. However, it's not that difficult to 'get' what you need to do, so if someone picks up the task, they'll get it within a few patches. ANd they can start with the simple stuff, BTW.
At the very list, I think it's worth having the script. And while we're at it, we might as well have the list, for curiosity's sake. :)
