 Saber,
Many thanks for these links,
I have no claim other and report what I observe in the use of QGIS.
I'm not a developer and I'm not have familiar with c ++ / python, 
I hope not to be considered me as in point 7 of 

https://nyalldawson.net/2016/08/how-to-effectively-get-things-changed-in-qgis/

Unfortunately I have not got a continuous job then 
I can not help you making an economic contribution,
but only give this poor contribution reporting anomalies...
if you do not need it I will not waste more time

Regards

Antonio
