However, since I haven't gotten any response (no explicit "this would be good, send a patch and let's see what you have", no criticism or discussion, etc.), I don't know how to proceed. I don't want to submit a patch and have it ignored similar to the research and feature requests up to now. I also don't want to just wait indefinitely before implementing patches.I know that for bugfixes, the NMU process can be used to work around an unresponsive maintainer, while still giving the maintainer time to take a look and fix things if they'd like to. But for this kind of a feature addition, I don't know if this is the right approach. As the Debian Developer's Reference [5] says, "Using NMUs to make changes that are likely to be non-consensual is discouraged." What's a good way forward here? Am I trying to do something that fundamentally shouldn't be done, or is there a good way for me to contribute this feature?
