My plain opinion about this: all developers should focus on fixing regressions. And then on fixing bugs. And only after that in adding new features/bugs.
Simply put: Regressions + Bugs cause to LOOSE existing users. If someone upgrades to get rid of a bug that was present in his current install and finds that it is fixed but other features that he needed stopped working, what action should he take? Go back? Wait? If someone bothered to report a bug, you can damn well believe that many more have found this problem. According to TDF Libreoffice has "millions of users". Yet only a few (dozens?) bother to report bugs. Most users that try a free software if they find an obstacle they simply uninstall it. Very few will bother to find a solution. Even less will bother to report it. Only a rare minority of these will actually register in the tracker and actually report it. How to improve this? Eliminate all bugs *. Eliminate barriers to reporting bugs. * I know this is an utopia. But you can still set it as a target.
