The Matplotlib developers will give feedback on the feature proposal. After
58+
acceptance, the feature can be implemented. Since Matplotlib is an open source

project with limited resources, we encourage users to then also

Is there a feature you wish Matplotlib had? Then ask! The best
541-
way to get started is to email the developer `mailing
542-
list <matplotlib-devel@python.org>`_ for discussion.
543-
This is an open source project developed primarily in the
544-
contributors free time, so there is no guarantee that your
545-
feature will be added. The *best* way to get the feature
546-
you need added is to contribute it your self.
