This is s fair way off of the truth as it assumes that the project is 
controlled at all. 

Are you suggesting that the unpaid hobbyists who write code for LinuxCNC should 
be obliged to write code for features on request? 
That seems a bit much to ask. 
Don't assume that there is a pool of programmers on call being given tasks by 
the "board" to add features on request. 

As for the feature being discussed, it looks like a fairly simple change to a 
single C++ file that I linked to earlier. There is no need to be a trained 
software engineer to experiment on that file with adding a GOTO statement. 
That was how I started when I decided to add support for the Mesa three phase 
PWM, just looking at existing code and adding modified versions, and learning C 
at the same time. It was even fun.
