I'm terribly sorry to see the delay with this :(.
Well, just to be clear, we've not designed a nice new en.wp page - that's a
community decision! - and of the 10 board members, half are ESL speakers.
Localisation and services to non-enlang projects are things we're focusing more
and more on; we've got a dedicated internationalisation team, for example.
On the rest of your examples - I think there's some confusion here as to who
does what. Localisation and bug-fixing the "core" software is divided between
the internationalisation team and the "Platform" sub-department of Engineering.
Things like the visual editor or the feedback tool are the responsibility of
the Features Engineering team. So there isn't really one set of things being
prioritised by staffers over the other, because they're each handled by
different sets of people :).
A more likely issue is that, well, things get lost in Bugzilla :(. Furthermore,
there are a lot more bugs than there are developer hours to deal with them -
take a look at
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/weekly-bug-summary.cgi?tops=10&days=365 to see
what I mean. Compared to the profile of the software, we really don't have a
massive engineering team overall - and that's not down to the board, that's
down to our comparatively small budget organisation-wide, which they can't
really do anything about.
However! if you'll look above you'll see that Sumana (our awesome Engineering
Community Manager) has added the localisation keyword, which should bring this
problem to the attention of the localisation team, and I'm going to do my best
to make sure they're reached - either to deal with the request, provide some
kind of ETA on dealing with it or, if they can't solve the issue, explain what
the problem is. They're great people, and I'm confident as both a staffer and a
long-term editor that this will get resolved one way or another :).
