That is the wrong attitude.  Developers have limited time and they have to prioritise what they do according to their own goals and feedback from the community.      

If your feature request is not something which is not obviously urgent or important then it is usually necessary to prod developers from the various projects involved periodically.  

Here is how I would approach this if I were a user after this feature, without any particular technical skills:

1.  Start an email discussion about the escape sequence spec, CCing the developers involved
2.  Once a spec has been agreed, file bug reports for each product with a link to the spec
3.  Prod developers periodically to implement it
4.  When each party claims to have done their bit, test it yourself or prod someone else to.  
5.  Confirm to each party that it works

This does involve a little more work on the reporter's behalf but this is how free software got where it is today - by everyone doing their little bit.
