No thanks, i'm just a user(hence this list) of this project, reporting a
bug,
i don't have the time, aspiration nor knowledge to properly submit, push,
and take
responsibility for the change.

Use the information however you see fit, I don't expect anything further
from your end,
I'd appreciate it if you 'd extend me the same courtesy.

sincerely
rude, bad
