At the risk of poking a stick into a hornets nest, maybe "we the users"
could help, at least by prioritizing the wish list. I'm not quite sure
what the best way to do that would be but one way might be to add something
to the exim web page which is some sort of 'voting' system where we could
cast either a simple "Yes that's important to me/nope, don't care if that
ever gets done" type of vote or some sort of priority vote where we can
cast votes like
"vitally important. If exim doesn't have it soon, I'll use XYZ instead" or
"yeah, that'd be nice" or
"couldn't care less" or
"If you implement that, I'll be forced to switch to XYZ mailer"
I realize it's a lot of work to implement something like that and it'd be
possible for someone to, as they do in Chicago, "vote early and vote
often". But it's a thought on how we might help you in deciding what's
really important for the future of exim (not that you don't have your own
views :-).

PS - I'm NOT volunteering to do any of the above, I don't have the time
either :-)
