We had a similar conversation on this list some time ago.  I still hope
that someone who _can_ fix it will do so. If you think that I have a
developer's ssh access to Tcl repository, please notice that I
don't. Should I prepare a patch for these (rather trivial) changes and
submit it to sourceforge? Will it help?

I thought, if there is someone responsible for this area among TCL
maintainers, just mentioning the problem (here) is enough, at least in a
case like that. And if this code is orphaned so no one is going to touch
it anyway, submitting a couple of four-line patches won't improve the
situation, as no one will review and commit them. What am I getting
wrong?
