People do not do "work" around here because it is not rewarded. The people who are rewarded are political. Then they do the work and the work looks like coding by politicians. I can remember going into the file upload section and seeing one of the worst messes I have ever seen in an open source project. There are hanging references and other monstrosities that I had only seen community college class assignments prior to looking at Struts code. I could not even discuss the code much less have any hope of helping, because the committers use this for their work and are not amenable to good code but rather to code that advances their careers.
If you think that Jonathan or I have nothing to contribute, you are sadly mistaken. We are quite aware of the nature of this beast. You really need to pay attention to what is going on. There is nothing like a meritocracy around here. How do you think that Struts 1.x managed to become a plate of spaghetti after such a fine start? Mertiocracy does not mean just work, by the way. It means work with merit. This not sold as a "docracy" or "actcracy".
