I enjoy your metric of "time to write post" vs "fixing bugs" and feel that it is accurate. In fact, I was still hyped up about the post afterward that I made a few patches myself (thereby proving your "time to write post" vs "fixing bugs" metric just about correct) and got noticed by somebody on core willing now to give me write-access to the tickets so I can do the janitorial work necessary.
If you have children and family, of course they should come before any silly little open source project ;). Absolutely. If I had a wife (or girlfriend, for that matter) and kids I would be spending time with them too. But for now, I devote my effort into coding and writing.
My post is more directed at those magnificently-talented people (and perhaps, those who are not as much) to, instead of sitting there and wondering about "What can I do?" or whining about "When is it coming?" to actually do something about it. A great example of this would be a guy named Roland Moriz who has been going through lighthouse and picking out tickets that should be marked as invalid or completed. This is a simple process of just reading a ticket and determining its status.
If a thousand people went into the lighthouse and picked out one ticket, just one ticket, and "evaluated" it, then we would be long on our way to having no tickets left to evaluate.
I sincerely hope you enjoyed your wine and dessert and I appreciate your time spent to write that comment, all feedback is welcomed.
