It's not likely that you'll be able to convince the sourceforge crew to 
do anything, no matter how many users want it. There are some, uh, 
/interesting/ circumstances going on there. Part of the reason we're 
going to have a mass exodus from sourceforge to jabberstudio is because 
the future of sourceforge is very questionable and the developers aren't 
on any kind of regular cycle.
