The above is stuff thats all being worked on, yelling at anyone is
unlikely to change the speed at which it gets done.

You're of course welcome to do whatever you like, but in my experience
Open source maintainers treat impatient / intolerant people either by
( consciously or unconsciously ) ignoring them ("I have 50 bug reports
from patient / tolerant people to look at") and/or
by even becoming more determined to not make the change suggested by
such people ("If I make this change it might make people think we
respond to impatient / intolerant people").
So, IMHO, you are not pursuing the best way to get your change made.
