Could always fork it and implement all the outstanding fixes into a
new branch.  Of course it wouldn't be distributed with rails, but if
enough people start using the "improved" version then who knows what
may happen.  Of course this isn't the optimal solution, but at this
point I'd opt for the "improved" version.

I have to admit that it's kind of depressing to work with an open source project
with a distant (I'm sure others would use a stronger adjective) maintainer. I
can't say that I've ever seen Sam Stephenson on the mailing list and according
to comments from others, he doesn't seem to pay too much attention to the bug
tracker either. Does he prefer some other medium of communitcation?

As a user and want-to-be-contributor, it would be nice to hear about his roadmap
for future development, what things he wants help on, why some patches are
rejected, or even if he no longer has interest in the project.

Although I'm not a Rails person, the 4th section of rubyonrails.com is titled
"Get Involved".
