Normally, stuff like this is best discussed on the other mailing list, 
lwip-devel. If it's a bug, then please add an entry in the bugtracker at 
http://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?group=lwip if you have a patch ready, 
please create a patch entry instead and attach the patch (as unified 
diff so we can easily apply it): 
http://savannah.nongnu.org/patch/?group=lwip

For both the bug tracker and patch management, you need to create an 
account at savannah.
