That is not programming steps needed to upgrade the module(s) necessary
to effect the change(s). If it's that simple then do it.

I understand what you are saying to do but it needs a programmer to
write the code necessary, etc. And THAT is not that simple. Then you
need someone capable to take the time. In open-source it's not always a
simple task to attract a contributor away from what they do for a living
as well as fix bugs for free and so on in the time they already have
dedicated. Good luck.
