Tim Janik last night, blogged about some issues he had apparently been having with intltool. Of course, said issue is not filed in bugzilla and I have never seen the patch mentioned in aforementioned blog entry, until just now, when looking through planet gnome to discover said entry. You would think that if a developer was maintaining a patch against a build tool, and didn't like maintaining that patch, and thought it was a serious issue, that they would file a bug with said patch, perhaps. But I have not seen any such bug reported against intltool.

If there are bugs, file them. Complaining in a blog isn't going to get them fixed, and certainly not any faster.
