Well the good news is that first-pass triage of bug reports can be done by pretty much anybody who is a moderately experienced postgres user; they don't even need to be a hacker. They just need to know when to send back a RTFM link, when to say "you didn't tell us your PG version" / "post your query" / "post your explain analyse" / "post your show all", and when to kick the bug report up to a sage hacker. It's not glamorous work, but it is a very accessible way to contribute, without the need to block out hours at a time. A bug wrangler could very readily log in, sort out reports for 20 minutes and then go do something else with the rest of their day.
