All non-trivial code "needs a lot of fixing". I suspect it would be more productive to ensure that the fixes and new developments from various parties happen in the same place, so that everyone can benefit from them -- and the obvious place for that is the repository that is managed by the team that wrote the program so far, since clearly they have proven capable (especially since there is no suggestion that the program is unmaintained or no longer developed by them). But I imagine that there may be personal rather than technical obstacles to that, and I quite understand that they can be significant enough to be sometimes not worth trying to overcome. It might be worth reiterating that under the GPL Bob's project is just as welcome to draw from the forked project as the fork is to draw from his.
