James recently announced that the MRC have finally agreed to release Staden under an opensource licence.  It is therefore now being hosted and developed as a sourceforge project:

http://staden.sourceforge.net/

https://sourceforge.net/projects/staden

..therefore if you're up to making the changes yourself you can submit patches to the project, or if not you can file it as a bug which someone else will hopefully pick up.
