Asking other people to do your job isn't.
This is actually quite rude when you consider the amount of work that
the employed development team have to do, there are currently only two
paid developers.
You are suggesting that the CTO spend valuable time programming an
aesthetic change that would not have any considerable benefit
whatsoever, this makes little sense and would only serve to lengthen the
time that other projects -- perhaps more desired by the community --
take to surface.

Agreed. If anytime a new feature or bug was to be fixed in Mediawiki
and it was expected that Brion or Tim (the only paid devs) fix it, I'm
sure we wouldn't have as many great features as we do. This isn't
speaking to their abilities, they're both fantastic programmers, better
than I, for certain. Just simply that time is limited in the day, and no
one can do everything. This community relies heavily on volunteer input,
and Brion asking for a patch is part of that.
