Research direction

The issue asks for steps to add a new analyzer for Node.js. First, examine existing analyzers in the OpenGrok codebase (e.g., at src/org/opengrok/indexer/analysis) to understand the pattern. Then, review maintainer responses in similar issues or linked documentation. Since the issue is old and has only one comment, it may need a maintainer to clarify whether this is a pure research task or an actual implementation request.
