While I can't fault your logic of scraping the Changelog for e-mail
addresses of people who have had patches submitted "recently," I doubt
that you'll have any luck getting a hold of Sam through us.  He isn't
active in the community (rails-spinoffs) and I haven't seen any major
SVN activity for months so he's obviously not doing much with the bug
reports.  He's largely absent and no one's handing out commit rights to
spinoffs/prototype (or maybe I'm just flirting with the wrong people, heh).

Your best bet is to submit a patch via http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ for
Prototype and hope that some day it catches his attention.  I'll be the
first to admit though that it's not a very effective approach.

If you want more exposure for your project, publish HTML versions on
line and invite rails-spinoffs to take a look.  There's a bunch of sharp
people on that list.

P.S. I've CC'd rails-spinoffs.
