Well, he's certainly not able to fix quite a number of bugs. Except that any sufficiently advanced workaround is indistinguishable from a bug fix. But that aside, he certainly has tackled a number of issues that were more in line of a feature request than a bug fix, and for bugs outside of the core C++ parts, he also has done quite a bit of fixing. There are also a number of other people (like David Nalesnik) who have contributed large pieces of magic mostly in the Scheme domain, partly as off-the-cuff contributions to discussions on the list. -- David Kastrup
