Another thing I would very much like to see is a better way to submit patches to Jolla, I have published my localization patch for Jolla-calendar and even mailed the person who is listed in the source at Jolla but no-one ever got back to me and neither the patch nor the feature implemented in a different way have so far made it into jolla-calendar.
