This means, here's my problem, someone else fix it for me. Since it has not been fixed for YEARS, maybe not the best alternative if you want to get it fixed.
- wpietri 5y agoIf it truly hasn't been fixed for years, then either the people involved haven't noticed or don't care. If the former, filing an issue is helpful. If not, filing a patch may not get anything fixed either.
- indymike 5y agoIt is more likely that "the people involved" are working on other things or just don't share your concern. Filing a ticket can be helpful, but a pull request is usually preferred times 10,000. You are right, it is also possible that a change may mot get merged... In which case you've added the feature so the software is more useful to you anyway. Everyone wins.
