To unpack a bit, "you" in your claim refers to a diverse group consisting of
- volunteer developers
- developers employed by companies
- TDF employees to a very small degree (no one is employed by TDF to do core
development specifically!)

I don't understand how you can say "you obviously have the resources" without
quantifying the claim in any way. You have to understand that we have over
12000 open reports:
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/reports.cgi?product_id=109&datasets=NEW The
resources in the whole ecosystem are used to their maximum capacity at any
given moment. To accelerate the pace of development, new resources must be
found.

User-reported bugs are being fixed every day, I think it is usually around a
thousand per year.
