Generally, given that emacs-devel is an anarchy, I'm amazed how well things do
get fixed.  I think sometimes we need to find new developers to fix bugs rather
than harrass existing ones.  Perhaps it is worth adding a note in CONTRIBUTE
about FOR-RELEASE.

I can't speak for others but this appproach won't encourage me to fix more
bugs.
