... I know this is probably OT, but I also think the site is rather 
useless when it comes to find anything, and browse through its contents.

Personally I'd also rather use official code, and I'm sure a lot of 
other users feel the same. New users might get confused by references to 
other sites, and might not know what it entails to "risk" using 
third-party patches that may or may not do what they intend.

I'd rather wait for the author of the plugin to commit changes myself. 
After all, if a patch is refused, that is the author's prerogative. 
People don't want quick hacks to be committed into their work, that 
might break code for people in other places.

I also think that the supposed cut-down of mailinglist traffic is a 
rather silly argument.
