Until a few hours ago entrance was unmaintained. Apparently xcomp, the previous maintainer, has become too busy with other things to do much with it. Earlier today I adopted it. However, I made it perfectly clear when I adopted it that it will be a few weeks before I can get stuck into it fully. At the moment there are bug fixes I can do now that take priority over new features. Also, E17 as a whole is partially in a feature freeze. We want to keep adding features to make it feature complete, but not add features just because they are nice to have. This is in an effort to start on the road to a release. Your patch is border line, and probably closer to "nicer to have" than "feature complete". On the plus side, it is quite small. However, there are many, mostly small, things that need to be done to entrance in order to get it into shape, as it's development has stalled for a while without a maintainer. On the other hand, your patch is something that I would like to, but it is quite a low priority. By the time I get around to doing it, the code you have patched may be completely different. I suggest that you be happy that it will get done eventually and spend a small amount of time every now and then keeping your patch up ta date with what ever is changing in entrance. When I get around to implementing that feature, you will have a good patch ready to go. Thank you for your efforts.
