I think opening a bugreport and proposing a patch is still the way to
go. But of course someone at openSUSE/Novell should confirm. Maybe we
(community) can write a sort of how-to on the wiki to explain how to
submit a patch, if not there already once a procedure is defined.

To have your patch in the official package, it must be approved by some
"insider", of course.

I would say there is a lower number of users, so probably priorities
changed. However, I agree with you it should not be so hard to get a
working patch included.

P.S. We are working on the creation of a community testing team (see
thread on this ML). Why don't you take part to it? There will be a
discussion to set it up during the openSUSE community week.

Best,
A.
