You mean "us"? This list is for users not devels, we did "nothing".

So better that you start first by explaining in plain and detailed (and

You can, for instance, go here, download the sources and make your own
mods:

Are you familiarized with Debian BTS (bug tracking system)? If you think
there's any problem or something is broken or you have a suggestion...
you can report it. Bad manners don't help at all.
