That’s nice and I agree, but time is a serious constraint.

You can always open a bounty for it on one of the software bounty websites then. No particular reason you need to do it yourself.

ooo nice, does github or similar things have a feature to do this?

"Opening a bounty" is a more reasonble first response to "I am missing feature X in this FOSS project". It's great that I can fork and do what ever I want with the code, but not many people have the knowledge, time, intererest or stake (in a perticular project) to learn the code base and write a missing feature.

The irony of purity testing my intended positive comment because you mistook it for a purity test is surely lost on you, but I got a chuckle out of it so thanks.

I just think the so often repeated sentiment "FOSS, do it yourself" is stupid but I didn't want to be rude.
