someone will make time to contribute but

The problem has to be fixed upstream or done in such a way as to make 
gns-devs comfortable, it has to be maintained. It is not like you are 
doing a fix to postgresql or gnu tools, where the code goes into a tree 
and will be maintained. Usually our problems arise from the freedom 
advocacy aspect of our software.

Any solution which does not take into account this aspect of the work is 
doomed to fail next upgrade.

So really this becomes a, if you are interested find the time to submit 
bugs upstream where they exist. Find the time to help more at that 
level, filing bugs is a skill in itself, after that find the time to do 
more and learn a little more eventually you find yourself hacking.

Happiness ensues!
