It would be best if you do the changes
and create a ticket in trac. For my opinion it would also be best to
create a pull request in github so the change can be applied from there.


It looks like the mythtv development is stalling, the devs numbers are
shrinking and the remaining ones are very busy. They are purely
concentrating on the tv and recording functionality. no plugin has been
updated in a while. 

And unfortunately the devs don't apply many useful
tickets or pull requests from github like xbmc does. Not even a simple
two-liner patch. This really reduces the motivation to contribute. Even
useful mythmusic changes are not cherry-picked from pauls repository.
Sorry for being so naggy, I had to say this. 

best regards
