Bas, keep in mind that anyone can enter an issue in JIRA, it doesn't necessarily mean that it is valid, or thought through, it is just a request. Andrew's comment on the issue itself points some of this out. It may make more sense to start with issues that have be created by a core contributor. You probably chose this issue because it was unassigned, choosing an assigned bug ( but not in-progress ) may be better as well, just be sure to reassign it to yourself, and mark it in-progress.
