Hi Michal,

FWIW: the up-coming/in-development custom pages/commands support will allow
one to do this more easily. Once that is in place, it is very possible that
we will (at least be able to) replace the current header/footer mechanism
on top of the templates bits which the custom pages need.

i suspect the main problem there is that fossil lacks triggers/email
notifications (for portability reasons), and if the ticket doesn't get
noticed in the first page of the timeline view (the first 20 entries) then
it probably goes unnoticed more often than not.

If you have picked out patches from tickets which you know to work, i would
be willing to get them integrated provided that:

a) it makes sense to do so. Some feature requests don't fit well into
fossil's world view.
b) The patches are still current vis-a-vis the trunk.
c) There are no objections from Richard or other contributors.

This decision ultimately lies with Richard, by the way, not myself.

Have you got the list of ticket numbers (or the patches)? This list doesn't
accept attachments (IIRC), but if you have the patches, please send them to
me off-list and i will get to that this weekend.
