Hans,

You forgot (or maybe even neglected) a few key ingredients in your process
to get this improvement adopted.

First it seems you assumed that the hand full committers and other
developers in the community that follow the JIRA issues (or this mailing
list) equals as the community. Sparrows are birds, but birds are not
sparrows. Had you been promoting your ideas and subsequently your progress
in the general mailing list of the project you might have enticed more
proponents of this improvement.

Secondly, it seems that you also assumed that you could force the adoption
of this patch - with bugs - without proper documentation regarding
functionality and usage. Stating in a JIRA comment that the patch is out of
date doesn't help adoption.
