Some more transparency in both directions, and the ability to triage
bugs would be nice. Sometimes things aren't that complicated, but are
still important (while other times, things can be complicated and
unimportant). I have no good way of making a representation about
which category any given bug fix falls under.

Also, while the commitfest app makes it pretty likely that someone
will get around to considering a bug fix eventually, the time that
that takes is completely unbounded.
