I agree to some extent, but I believe they were mostly trying to convey that much of the work is done by volunteers who are largely only motivated/have the resources to test a small subset of potential deployment scenarios.

The best way to fix this issue would be to get involved (or switch languages as you suggested, that's fine too).
