This is open source, developed by volunteers to
meet their own needs primarily and others by
happy coincidence.

If the existing solution meets the needs of the
developers they have no incentive to spend time
to  "fix" it.

You(*) may want it fixed and if you submit a patch
they may well incorporate it. That's how open
source works.

(*)You or anyone else who is sufficiently irritated
or motivated to spend their time fixing it...
