Sounds reasonable, and we certainly appreciate your concerns. We're trying to free Lyle up as much as possible to work on the D6 port and are attempting to secure funding for this time. In addition, cha0s is around for patch review and has been doing a great job the last couple of weeks.

For small things, I wouldn't even worry about a patch. That may be a bit unorthodox, but posts like this are enough for me to make a quick fix/change. For larger tasks, one problem we've had is that larger patches might be posted up for things that aren't even on our radar while other things have priority. Those things end up sitting around unfortunately. Perhaps before doing something larger you can just PM Lyle here to see if it's even something we'll consider for the 2.x beta release.
