</div>This sort of "we look forward to your patch" mentality is a very myopic<br>
view that limits the potential of many FOSS projects.</blockquote><div><br>It's an appropriate response to a feature request that has been well discussed and known for 6 months. Unless someone steps up to code it, it will remain as a "that'd be nice" item. The only better system I've seen is adding the ability to vote on feature requests and store those requests in the ticketing system. Since MythTV's trac system isn't used to track feature requests, this would be something that Isaac would have to want to implement as a way to gauge the popularity of various feature requests but again, unless he's looking to get that kind of feedback, it's really up to someone to submit patches before it will become reality.<br>
