There is several things you didn't consider there:
- where is the patch which you mention? (there is one attached upstream which
didn't get comments nor testing now)
- changes can created regressions and need to be carrefully tested
- there is ten of thousand of bugs open and limited ressources working on
those, your bug might not be the top priority ones and people are sometime busy
on other things
Note that nobody argued that users should modify the URL, the patch is
being considered but there is a new source file there, changes to the
build system and some non trivial code changes, it's not easy to make
sure the patch doesn't create any other breakage (some issues have
already been pointed on bugzilla and an updated patch uploaded)
