Well no one is going to fix mods that didn't work already. There are 1000's of mods listed, but not near that many that are in active development, or are even publicly available.
I think by resolve issues, Alfred meant work out any issues that are due to the mod that used to work not working on steam, if the issue is due to steam.
While I had some issues authenticating, beyond that an already working Halflife mod should work on steam.. in theory. They just need to be sure that's true (I think it should be, unless there's some problem or strange workaround in the mod code it should run just fine).
What I'd really like to see resolved is the authentication issues: User's ticket has expired Failed to get valid content ticket Timeouts and connection resets. - the Internet does this itself sometimes, so we can't blame anyone totally :p.
Just trying to update 4 servers is taking a lot of my time, once it works it's beautiful, I just can't seem to stay authenticated to do a whole update, or manage to auth reliably when i try. I'm sure these issues are being worked on, because like the last CS release, the system was showing strain the first few days then worked flawlessly, I think it's just capacity related, and it seems that's being beefed up constantly.

Hehehe... all?
I know a site that list 400 mods http://mods.moddb.com/?mf=t&mf_gme=1&start=400
maybe half-life have more than 1000/2000 mods actually.
And suppose you fix 2320 mods. You will be stremly bored!

Maybe its not needed the won stuff, but the engine code itself *minus* the won stuff. If you give me the HL engine source to the community as GPL, these people will add:
- a new sexy particle system (like Telejano) - bumpmaping (like Tenebreae) - per-vertex lighting (?) - terrain support - mvd demos, loc files, capture_avi, ... (zquake) - retexturing as 24b PNG + 24b luma - support for more than 10.000 entitys - support for better network - big maps - more sensitive control - a good model format to add ODE phisics - mix Quake2 and Half-Life clients - md3 model support - Quake2 maps support
Dream on!... half-life with doom3 lighting + terrain support + a sexy particle engine for free!...
Give a broken toy to the community, and will return as a Ferrari.
