You are speaking to the people who ultimately decide whether your change
will be accepted or not. Currently there is no way anyone could know
whether the desired change is acceptable as no patch has been
submitted. 

Send a patch with the (minimal, well-organized) needed changes and the
matter can be discussed from there. If the changes are sane and well
justified, then there's little reason why they can't be accepted.
