This discussion would resolve quickly if we had video proof of your antics, smooge :)

But seriously, there's an implication in this thread that there will be work happening to give stuff a path to ask for an open port.  Where can we follow along with that effort? Starting with, say, how I might change `nikola runserver` or `django-admin runserver` to ask for the port, and ending with the resulting UI that asks me for approval?

If we want actual progress, it doesn't happen because of controversial compromises, or mailing list flamewars, or even GNOME-specific UI responses to dbus signals.  We're all here talking about it - let's talk about what would be ideal, and start pointing at the code to make it work.
