I think there's nobody, or at least very few people, who are getting
paid to find/fix bugs rather than write cool new features. This is
problematic. It doesn't help when key committers are overwhelmed by
trying to process other peoples' patches. (And no, I'm not sure that
"appoint more committers" would improve matters. What we've got is
too many barely-good-enough patches. Tweaking the process to let those
into the tree faster will not result in better quality.)
