Unfortunately sending a precise patch is not enough. The patch can
sometimes be complicated (as for emacsclient) and we need time to
minimize that work. (And because of a lot of misunderstanding we have
not been able to move forward there.)

Other times it is the feature itself that has not been thought of as
important enough (as in the case of beeing able to move Emacs META or
accessibility).

I would be glad if we could move forward though. A problem is of
course that I have forgotten the details now since the code was
written several years ago. And that I have less time.
