Having written open source software myself, and being a subscriber to mailing lists, etc, there is a realization that the number one thing missing from smaller open source projects is feedback from users.

I have contacted authors of OSS software in the past. In every case, it was to thank them for the apps they produced. However, I would be VERY hesitant to suggest new features or improvements. The main reason being, it seems to me that it would be a slap in the face of the developer to say, well this program could use improvement in this area, or I would like to see such and such feature. I know theses developers have given freely of themselves to produce the app, so I would hesitate to intimate to them, good, but not good enough.
