"patch" -- patch which fixes code to behave as it was intended to
"enhancement" -- patch which adds a feature, such as support for
                 non-square pixels in MythGallery.
"defect" -- suspected bug with a good description but no patch
"task" -- a problem that is being worked on, but which does
          not have a complete patch and which is not a defect,
          i.e. the current code works as intended, but not in
          a desirable way.

If MythGallery already detected the aspect ratio and tried to use it
scale the images but did it incorrectly this would be a "patch". Since
it doesn't appear to be designed with this in mind at all this is an
enhancement.
