The problem with maintaining bridges is that there are loads of them, and by definition they are a moving target to track the destination systems. So while there's a three person full-time bridge team, they don't have bandwidth to jump on each and every bug as it comes in - and supplying more muscle there is not going to happen unless the funding issues mentioned in the blog post get resolved. So either the wider open source community will need to step up to contribute fixes, or the bugs will get resolved when they get to the top of the todo list. All I want for Christmas is to figure out a way to locate more $ to more people to work fulltime on stuff like the bridge backlog! P.S. I think the sibling reply has this wrong: there absolutely is money to be made in interoperability, including bridging. However, there's no incentive for that money to flow back to the upstream project, other than long-term thinking or good will.
