Yeah, I think the old-style radio buttons should be removed and just
make the whole cell selectable for the horizontal and vertical header
cells. That would be nicer IMO. Also, the top left-hand cell should be
colored another color or white and be clickable and say "reset" and not
be a button.

Reset is ok though...more common in English.

Where is the bug/feature tracker and can people submit patches? Could
you email the cc-devel list about this as well so developers know where
and how they can contribute to it?

I hear that...maybe we can add to our hackfest when I'll be in TW in
January to speak at the CC TW conference... :) Fun!
