You mean "us"? This list is for users not devels, we did "nothing".

You can, for instance, go here, download the sources and make your own 
mods:

Are you familiarized with Debian BTS (bug tracking system)? If you think 
there's any problem or something is broken or you have a suggestion... 
you can report it. Bad manners don't help at all.
