Perhaps because it feels presumptuous or something? I don't know? Perhaps Emacs should have an `M-x send-emacs-patch' function, that could also be featured (prominently?) in the mode line? It would basically just open up a mail buffer like `M-x report-emacs-bug' does, but the text could be different. It could mention stuff like how we prefer patches to be formatted, and the copyright assignment thing, but mainly point out HEY! WE WANT PATCHES! YES! SEND THEM TO US! And then they'd end up in the debbugs bug tracker. -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) bloggy blog: http://lars.ingebrigtsen.no
