Hello,

Did you follow the instructions on http://shapelib.maptools.org/ to 
submit your changes through Bugzilla? 
http://bugzilla.maptools.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=Shapelib  Your direct 
email to the maintainers might have been lost, so it's always good to 
file a ticket in the bug tracker, and then you can follow along with the 
development.
