That was not what I meant (although it did sound confusing, sorry).

You can prepare patches and send them to David.  Preparing those
patches is stupid and boring work, I guess David likes it as little as
I do.  Then he can see if they are good enough and send them forward.

Or, alternatively, you can accept the current situation as the best
you can get for your money, which is for free.
