I guess the point I was tring to make was missed. It is the go fix it yourself attitude I guess that gets me sometimes in both the mailing lists and IRC. There is some people in the user base that can not code but are able to find issues on there systems and would like to share them with either of the forums mentioned. I guess the better answer than the "Go fix it yourself" would be "Please submit a PR". This way both the project and the party involved can track the progress.
