Hi Tony,

could you clarify your intention for this email? 
Are you seeking for more input whether it's a good idea, or if this
actually needed? Or are you searching for agreement as you plan to work
on a patch yourself? Or are you looking for somebody to work on this?

It's not entirely clear to me from your email.

Thanks,
andre
