The project is always very happy to receive patches, but it does have an unfortunate tendency not to notice stuff that's just submitted via send-pr(1). The trick is to get in contact with developers having an interest in that area and draw their attention to your PRs. Don't be downhearted if they critique your contributions quite stringently: that means they see potential in them. Cheers, Matthew --=20 Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil.
