Certainly sounds like the right place.

Feel free to submit a patch, and to take as long as you need - the
beauty of open source is that everyone scratches their own itches in the
timeframe that they need.  When you do post a patch, we'll be sure to
review it based on its merits, and either take it as is or give you
feedback for improving it further.
