Hahaha.

Main issue with that bug when I checked it was that there's a lot of
discussion that makes aspiring gnome heroes think that they better let
it on current heroes and rock stars hands.

So if you or anyone can put some nice bullet point comment about what
and where to hack this, it would help a lot.
As a side note about this, as a new contributor my major concern when
checking bugs was always that most of the time directions where very
vague on how to fix the issue. Maybe we could all have in mind that
next time we say "yeah this bug sucks" or something similar on
bugzilla, we leave some pointer about how to fix it, that would help a
lot all the people willing to start hacking on new modules (wheter
they are already contributors or not).
