This funny title is a.k.a.:

Questions before publishing every new bug/enhancement in the bug report of the $xyz project

Is this a new bug/enhancement that you can implement / are implementing on yourself?

Yes?

People will discuss your implementation! Someone will read your work and will say: «Ehy wait, I'm already working on it! Let's merge our work!» or another will start a discussion etc.

Publish that new enhancement as a bug report: your pull request will be very appreciated!

No?

Bug reports are a discussion area and not a shopping list! The project is not so active? Nobody contribute? Instead of writing down what the software does and what the software does not (because of we know e-x-a-c-t-l-y what the software does and what the software does not) please don't insert enhancements in the bug tracker. Instead, in order of preference:

  • Get that damn source code and fix it yourself! The license encourage it!!!
  • Hire the maintainer, a contributor o a friend in order to do your job for you! (it's normal to pay someone to work for you.)

People behind a Free as in Freedom project usually have a life: they study, work, love, pay taxes, etc. and so they are not heroes, they don't work in the name of the public interest and so they don't work for you! So avoid this sort of funny messages:

This project is great! I use it everyday! But please add this feature! I can't implement it by myself. I love you! <3 <3 <3

Or:

This project is a shit! It worked for 3 years but now it explodes! Fix it!!11!1!

TL;DR
If you can do it... do it! (or at least try it!)
If you can't try to do it... donate or hire someone to work for you! People love beer and money.

For the records: don't take this too seriously! BTW...

Less words... more pull requests!

This seems related to mishoo/UglifyJS#2054 somehow. :^)
