Bugreport Input event not firing

Not sure if this is the right place but i couldn't find a proper bugtracker.
We are using angularjs and tried to do automatic testing with SAHI. However the angular models lying on input boxes won't get updated when SAHI fills out a form.
We have found the reason for this and patched SAHI locally so that it works. The reason this combination doesn't work is because angular relies on a new HTML5 event called "input" for noticing text changes. This is not fired when using SAHI.
We have hacked the cocat.js locally and changed
Sahi.prototype.simulateKeyPressEvents
"this.simulateKeyEvent([keyCode, 0], el, "input", combo);" at the end of the function fixes the problem for us. Is there any chance to incorporate that fix into SAHI? We are using the OpenSource variant.

Thanks for this. Is there a sample page where we can reproduce and test this?
Thanks,

Please note that the fix doesn't work on (older) IEs out of the box. It seems IE fails when dispatching unknown events. Still investigating.
Angular binds the values of the form to its model "xxx". Due to its two way databinding changes to xxx should immediately change the content of {{ xxx }}. This is done using the HTML5 input event in angular.
