Not your fault man, but I emailed to all 3 maintainers there and all got 
thrown back. See below.

I've always found it's a bit of a joke trying to contact package maintainers, 
and I wonder why their e-mail addresses are even put in the "about's" for the 
packages.

I'll just continue to work with synaptic as it is. It's no big deal, and just 
thought that my suggestion would have made it a bit easier to use.
