I think that Ulf was under the impression that no one was actually using the site or testing plugins like Macros and Favorites. He doesn't generally follow the forums which is why it is really important that you file bugs or request for enhancements against the plugins so that he sees them. He also prefers that those issues get posted to the developer's list, which he does follow. I'll see if he has anything additional to add.
Select the appropriate project (plugins, etc.) and select RFE, if appropriate. We'll take care of the rest. Ulf checks his bugs regularly and works very hard on fixes and improvements. The more input and detail you can provide, the better. I think the more requests he gets, the better he works.
