You are the first one to propose such a feature. Technically, we can
implement it, but do you think it will be really usefull? 
For instance, normally someone can send a patch to a project without
really being member of the project.

We havent made any distinction on the subject since it would require
more things to do than in the other case (for bugs etc...), but if you
really find this usefull, why not thinking about it. 

I must tell you that we have currently other top-priority but feel
free to submit a bug (choosing enhancement) report for the project
