No, I would like to do anything that help packagers do their job. It's
just that the Sugar module maintainers are generally people who have
accumulated too many functions and making them keep those files
updated with the wiki just increases the burden on them.

But of course, anyone can open tickets with patches, as a reminder and
as a way of facilitate their work.
