I think the best way is... to do something, don't wait. The source is open and any one can benefit from that, and any developers play with it, or they have to wait for the authors. 

Some months ago I started with very tiny things: add comments to MooseFS code, thinking that comments may help someone. Unfortunately, I permanently deleted my works when cleaning up my computer and my git repositories :(

Now I focus on the Python script "mfscgi" which is used to monitor the MooseFS. I think I would rewrite it in a more flexible way, so that the notification system can use it directly. Please wait for my commit :P Or join me !

Just my two cents,
