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?
