Hi Lars,

There is an Exiv2 forum and the bug tracker.
With the username from http://www.exiv2.org/support.html you can post to 
the forum without the need for an account. In order to report bugs you 
need an account. There is no separate devel forum or group.

It would be great if you could provide a patch for the tags and values 
that you are missing. For the majority of cases, adding them is quite 
straightforward. You can send the patch to the forum or to me directly.

Thanks,
Andreas
