Could they maybe start handling the 1400+ bugs that has been a part of systemd for such a long time (some unresolved since 2015) rather than keep adding and add

  There are a lot of open issues but you are a bit unfair in calling them bugs. If you filter out the RFEs (Requests For Enhancement) you find 617 issues. If you filter for only issues labeled as a bug you get 97 results.

    OK, but they don't always label bugs that way (example: systemd/#5616) and the bugs that are labeled can get pretty old (systemd/#3700). Furthermore a lot of RFEs are really just disguised bug reports (systemd/#5917 is just an RFE rephrasing of system/#3700). In my experience, unless you can get Red Hat to care about patching a specific bug, you can rely on opened bugs to stay open.

      I didn't dig into others, but: > don't always label bugs that way (example: systemd/#5616) Nobody figured out if that issue is in logind or X yet. They did not close it so it's not like they say it can't possibly be on systemd side. (typical Lennart comments aside)

  People add features they need, and fix bugs that impact them. Scratching your own itch is the fundamental principle in open source. I recommend you to do the same.
