Prioritizing can be problematic.  Especially when prioritizing the 
contributions of volunteers, which is often demotivating for the volunteer in 
question.  Before worrying about prioritizing, we need a volunteer with the 
needed ability.  I expect only a few of the regular contributers are able to 
tackle this.  I also expect they are focused on the upcoming release, which is 
being blocked by several other problems.
