I think reversing your approach to this list/project would help greatly. 
 From what I'm seeing, your approach has been: act, defend, then explain.  I 
think it would be more productive to come to the list and explain what you 
intend on doing and why you want to do it.  Open it up for discussion and 
then defend your position if necessary.  Then, as a group we can figure out 
the best way to implement your changes/additions if necessary/desired.  In 
other words, sell your idea.

There's a lot of history to this project and by just posing a question on 
why something is/isn't done or should/shouldn't be done would allow you to 
get up to speed and be able to contribute more effectively.
