No, unless they are specific bug reports.

The main problem is that we have too many GUIs, and the "main" ones are
in tcl/tk which not many people write. So there's a small developer base
for the standard GUI, and the rest prefers to split up and each do their
own GUI rather than work on a coordinated project. (I've tried to change
that before.)
