I have given up on fixing things and posting patch onto this list too, as
this is not productive at all. Usually ignored, without single bit of
acknowledgement. Might be that's because I'm not persistent enough, but now
I learned to post a bugzilla and ignore it afterwards, let unfixed packages
go unfixed, and just doing any fix for personal use; or sometimes contact
software maintainers directly instead of whining here. The latter seems to
be better way of fixing things.
Again, wasting time doing fixes yourself is still better than being
angry without anything done.
