I agree. In the past six months, how many commits have there been to
the database backends? Hardly any, proportionally. The bugs are elsewhere.

Speaking for myself, I work on things here as a break from my other work;
that usually confines me to working sporadically on small things. One thing
that would make me more productive is if I had a better idea of what others
are working on, so as not to duplicate effort. There's a page for that in the
wiki on SF, but it's not kept up to date; same story with the task list.

As soon as I get time again, I'll probably make another attack on the bug
list. If someone gave me a prioritized list of bugs to squash, that too
would help me in directing my efforts.
