Totally agree! My own free software project got the same context.

This is the beauty of the natural language! I mean, it's very (very)
different when you say something like "that feature is
not required" that when you say: "right now we can't work on it but in
the future there's a chance we could".
If you check the previews post you'll be agree that this is the first
one talking in an open way, as free software
development use to be.
I'm still "learning" the GLPI source code, but as soon as I could, I
expect to share the code (ugly or not) that I write for
the project.

Once again, there's a huge difference between saying: "the template
engine is not required" but saying: "is not currently
used for priority". I really understand the situation, few hands make
more difficult to cover more features, but it's very
important for the GLPI community are aware that you guys, are working
on the project following an "open culture" is you
wish, as free software developers.
Before reading this message, I was very worry about the answers I was
getting here, but from now I'm very happy to
understand that you follow the nice practice of an open development
model :)
I'll post again as soon as I have an specific tech question about the
code or new code to share.
Keep up the good work! :)
