That's a strawmen, since I didn't voice an opinion about it's 
usefulness. I said it doesn't interest me; what *does* interest 
me is trying to ensure that peoples' ideas don't have to die off 
in the forum, i.e. that they know (if they have the time and 
interest) what to do in order for them to be incorporated.

If you recall my initial post, all I did was point out the places 
to send a PR to if he wants the changes to be incorporated. 
W.r.t. expressing my disinterest in the particulars of the topic: 
I've only done so when I judged him to attempt to engage me about 
them in a way where just not replying would've been rude.

My (apparently too implicit) point was that he shouldn't have to 
care about what I, or others, are interested in. If he cares 
about it and has the time and will to do it (which so far I've 
not seen a contrary statement of his to), the way to go is to 
make a PR, because that'll (eventually) yield an official 
reaction by the appropriate people.

You don't seem to want me to express my (dis)interest in the 
particulars of the topic, yet you respond to me in a way that's 
designed to elicit that response from me. I find that confusing.

Why do you imply that I'm trying to stop someone?

That's why one of my earlier responses contained
