He doesn't need to know how to code, he can hire someone else to code it for him. I bet there are many java programmers out there that will offer themselves to code this feature for him.
I understand that not everyone know how to code but everyone could look for means to get the resources needed to make it happen. Whether that means hire someone else, or just convince them. Again most non developers also don't understand the time an effort that coding means either. I am glad that you went on an experience being involved in QA and I guess that you also got to expeirence all the things that need to be done to test. The effort you put is a good view on the time we need to put into to solve issues on our part. So please hire people so we get things done faster and can get to your 'requests'. Does that sound fair?
