Everybody is too busy to give this project the attention and time it deserves to be maintained properly. I honestly do not think the situation will change significantly until someone is able to devote real time as a maintainer and process all of the patches that get submitted each day. As top level maintainter that has to be your number one priority, processing patches efficiently. Otherwise developers go elsewhere and you will eventually be working on all the features and bug fixes yourself. If you, on the other hand, devote the necessary time to patches then developers will be motivated. They will do all the work and you can take all the credit :-) But I do appreicate that you understand the issue of trust. It is the only way to operate sanely.
