Everything on this earth changes. It's just a matter of when each
thing will change. The web page above gives me the impression that
the developers are open to suggestion.

You can use the ubuntu-motu mailing list (with motu being short for
Masters Of The Universe) or join the ubuntu-motu channel in IRC on
the Freenode server. There are other ways that I don't know off the
top of my head, but that can be found by Googling if neither of those
is appealing.
