Absolutely, I don't have any issue with the way the most important issues
are being worked on now, I just think that less-experienced developers could
do a lot more to help out with simple tasks / early-stage tasks. If the rest
of us can help ease the burden by getting issues properly sorted out before
they go to core developers (writing unit tests, sorting out requirements
clearly, documentation, patch suggestions etc) then they won't need to spend
as much time on simple maintenance.

Cheers,
