Foe's Rule of Feature Requests/Bugfixes

This should be so clear to people, but let me spell it out:

Foe's Rule of Feature Requests/Bugfixes

The likeliness of getting your feature implemented / bug fixed by the devs is INVERSE to how much of a jerk you are on the forums.

For the math impaired, that means more jerkiness = less chance of getting your feature.

Don't forget the severity of a bug, even a total asshole can report a crashbug and it's going to be fixed soon.

[Tim Blokdijk]

Time to implement, maintainability, time to spare for coding, ... loads of other factors.
But jerks have little business around here.

Still, writing a patch yourself is the most direct way to get code in the project.
