Bug fixes here result in wikidot.com fixes?

I've reported a couple of bugs over on community.wikidot.com that contain all the necessary information to fix the bug, e.g. I've referenced the actual files from Wikidot v1, included the lines of source code that need fixing, and provided IMHO easy to follow instructions that would fix them. The effort for anyone to take these bug reports and fix the code is minimal, but the bugs remain.

For the record here are the bug reports:
http://community.wikidot.com/forum/t-22246/module-newpage-doesn-t-honour-template-selection
http://community.wikidot.com/forum/t-46381/many-blank-templates-appear-in-template-list

So, I'm wondering if there is a better way to get bugs fixed. If source code changes are made on the open source Wikidot v1 repository, do the changes flow through to wikidot.com blogs? If not, can the relevant patches be sent through to another destination, e.g. email address? If so, what is the delay between changes to the repository here and the live wikidot.com wikis?

Thanks.

I am sorry for the delay, the fix will be incorporated in wikidot.com asap.

Thanks!

Can someone with subversion access update the open source version as well?

Hi Michal,

It's been over two weeks since your reply and nothing has changed. (And a month since I originally provided the detail in bug reports.)

I would sign your contribution license and commit the fixes to wikidot v1 myself if I had any assurance that the changes would flow through to the wikidot.com website in a timely fashion. However, there's nothing published showing how the two connect with planned releases, etc.
