Well, that's OSS software for you, which is only 10-100x more responsive than 
most commercial software to bug reports.  I've filed several bugs with core 
python and other close to core packages, some years ago, and am still waiting 
for the response.  I find trac-hacks pretty responsive as a community.  I mean, 
no, its not lightning agile or whatever.  But overall people are friendly and 
semi-resopnsible, and while I rarely get an answer on bugs and plugin adoption 
as soon as I would wish, I usually eventually get it.  (Just, um, don't look at 
all of my outstanding bugs....I feel horrible not working on these).

I don't really know what to say here.  You can always fork.  Its the easiest 
thing up front.  But it is moving away from coherency.  Or you can come up with 
a patch management strategy.  I need to do this myself some day.

Well, yeah, trac-hacks and the rest of the world.  I mean, I think everyone 
would welcome change for the better.  There have been a few discussions about 
it, on this list and trac-users, but the fact of the matter is, it is really 
hard to organize a community effort when everyone in the community has a 
different opinion and very few are willing to contribute time.  I know I can't 
right now.  Again, the sad story of OSS.
