I do not know if this is the proper forum for this question, or even if the 
proper forum exists.

But in 2011, a poor decision was made, whcich fixed a security problem and 
created a usability issue. A bug was opened, with overwhelming oposition to the 
developers decision. Many comments followed with lots are good arguments why 
this "fix" was poor decision. The comments also included a better, easy to 
implement fix that was both secure AND good for users. There is no reason not 
to implement it.

The developer ignored all the comments (over 100 comments in favour of change!) 
and did not reply. 3 days ago, comments were closed.

What I would like, is to call a vote on this issue. If the majority supports 
the better fix (and so far it 100 in favour and 1 against, based on thread 
comments), and there is no security issue created (based on the arguments in 
the comments, there is no) then this change should be implemented.

How can we call a vote? How can we appeal?
