Comment 16 for bug 843268

I would love to form a project/team/comity that would work with developers and package maintainers to address proxy issues and also maintain a minimum compliance specification. This task defiantly needs Linux Plumbers type endeavor.

I believe that proxy support needs to be a future release goal! However in order for this to flower it needs support from within the community! Currently me and a few other users have little chance of effecting any real change.

Any suggestions on how this effort can get some attention?
