Ha.  Getting pulled down into the muck and mire of support is a
given.  How one gets pulled in and how hard one fights are the only
variables.

I'm not looking for more stuff to do on Xastir-1 right now (see my
message from earlier today), but your ideas should go onto our
feature request list on Sourceforge so they're not forgotten.  You
don't have to have a Sourceforge login to submit items there, but if
you forget to sign them we don't know who submitted them:  We can't
ask for clarification later if/when people are working on code.

Care to add those?  It's best for the person proposing them to add
the item.  That way paraphrasing errors don't creep in.
