dear Micheal,

github pull requests would also be my favorite way to contribute, but 
unfortunately the Bioconductor-mirror github repos are read-only (thus, as far 
as I got it, no pull requests are possible), and I didn’t find other repos in 
github.

Regarding the filtering, you mean implementing subset() and sort() in 
ensembldb? 
My only concern with the approach you describe below is that it rather looks 
like "fetch from db and then filter”, which might be quite slow. I implemented 
the filters such that they are considered at query execution time (in fact, 
they are used to build the SQL query). 
That way also plotting of gene models in ggbio using EnsDbs is really fast 
(since only that small portion that will be plotted is really fetched from the 
db).

thanks, jo
