I think it is perfectly right to post here. Thanks for sharing your 
thoughts, concerns...

Submitting a bug, as Tom wrote, is a first step.
That however does not mean that developers are automatically interested 
in this. I guess it is not at all a trivial thing to add. Already the 
energy that is needed to discuss the right solution from UX pov... So it 
would be my expectation that developers get particularly interested when 
there is someone (company..) interested in sponsoring the development. 
That is the freedom that this software brings us: when we are not able 
to add somthing our selves, we can always find others that have the time 
to do so.
I don't write this to discourage you. It is more about expectations and 
reality. Of course it is well possible to help, once someone shows 
interest, with designing details, testing etc. And also, in the 
LibreOffice community, the possibility for relatively new developers to 
get started, to send in patches, to find guidance etc. is really great.

I hope this makes both sense and things a bit more clear.

Regards,
