No linking mechanism for same film / multiple releases?

I'm sure this has been addressed before and if someone can point me to the discussion, that would be great!

OK: You have one film with a single cast and crew that is common across 20+ UPC/locality combinations, however:

The cast / crew data is populated willy-nilly across all these different versions. Some have an extensive listing, and some have almost nothing.

Why can't we come up with a mechanism for linking all these profiles together, so that there's a unified cast / crew listing?

A key improvement that would raise DVDProfiler from Great to Amazing. 

I'ts been suggested and discussed on-and-off, but I don't think the developer has indicated any interest in pursuing it.

This isn't something that we can do as it would require a program change.  The only thing we can do, is audit the version we have, then download and copy that data to every other version, and recontribute them.  It is something that is allowed, though a little controversial, and is done by a few users.
