Yes, that's exactly the situation. It's why GNOME has cut out 90% of the
features they once had; they decided to pare their codebase down to only what
their small team could maintain. KDE does things differently; we have a bigger
scope and broader aspirations, but we chronically lack the resources to
maintain them. We are *constantly* in need of more technical contributors who
want to do boring bugfixing work rather than flashy exciting new features.

In the absence of such people materializing, the result is under-maintained
software that is always bugger than it should be. It's either that, or have
fewer features, like GNOME. Pick your poison. Or contribute with bugfixes if
you want to help us get out of this situation.

Buy just complaining, "boo, this isn't fixed yet" every time after every
release isn't going to change anything. We need people capable of fixing it to
step up and do so. If any such people are following along, I urge them to give
it a try.
