I don’t mean to sound bitter or anything. I myself have a community of which I am supposed to be the technical administrator which I have neglected for years. I suppose its members are feeling the same. It’s more fun to do a guerilla project than to have to defend an existing codebase from rot.
I think the ideal here would be to have a group of programmers that were of the community so that the pain they feel as users drives them to write code. Some may say that bugs are open to anyone to contribute but there are subtle/crucial differences to what I have in mind. Mostly we need a hero that can motivate the community and has commit access.
