We have a lot of stuff to do, and only limited work time. This stuff is
as much a priority as most other stuff we work on -- or as little, if you
will. 

It's open source. If this matters and is urgent to you best way is
usually to work on it yourself, otherwise you have to accept that people
will work according to their own work schedules.

Sorry if that's disappointing.
