Oh, I'm sure we're all quite happy to accept your patches, detailed bug 
reports and are of course willing to look over any feature branches you 
may have been prepared!

Sorry, but just ranting that "something doesn't work" or "something is 
missing" doesn't bring you anywhere if you're working with an Open 
Source tool. Monotone is a small, nice revision control system. We don't 
have the man power or even following of git or mercurial.
