Ok! noted.

It's not about being able to do the change. I'm actually a maintainer so
I can do the change myself if I wanted (I have direct access, no need to
talk with the web admin). It's about having the time and finding the
best solution.

Being an end-user doesn't prevent you from filing the bug report though.
And by having the bug report filed, a developer could ask for your
feedback on the bug (for example, he could attach a mockup to ask you if
it would solve your problem from your point of view).

Also, the reason I mention how to fix something in a technical level is
because we're communicating in a mailinglist/forum, so it's not only us
reading this. There could be a technical person willing dedicate his
spare time to jump on the issue and try to fix it.

Thanks!
