I don't think you will find many people here willing to code and
submit a patch to satisfy your personal feature requests unless they
happen to need it for themselves. The leader/maintainer of BackupPC is
reportedly focusing all his efforts on a complete rewrite. The rest of
us are here as users and volunteers.
Given that you have been asking a lot of the group, it's not
unreasonable to ask/expect you to contribute back especially when this
is your own feature requests. The code is open and very
readable. Perhaps offer to pay someone to code it for you and
contribute the code back if you lack the ability to do it yourself.
