much more for Ada language support than what has already been done for other
languages.  So with help (mostly indirectly through Brad's commit
message and looking over the changes in some of the other language
support files) I was able to adapt Ada language support (and also D)
to the recent language infrastructure compatibility breakage. However,
I didn't have the skills to adjust to more serious language support
infrastructure compatibility breakage in the past, and for that case
Brad had to help me directly with Ada language support.

He probably doesn't even remember that incident from years ago, but
that help was very much appreciated at the time and in retrospect.
However, to prevent the need for such help for external Ada language
support ever being required again, it would be a much better situation
all around if that Ada language support was just part of upstream
CMake.  CMake does have excellent facilities for free software
developers to help with its development.  So I would be willing to
help maintain Ada language support within CMake that way to the best
of my ability, but with the warning that (as in the past due to the
level of my skills) I am unlikely to be able to do all that
maintenance myself.
