Agreed.

Seems like, somewhere at some point, our development model failed to
cope with only-bug-or-regression fixes and improving (in the broad
sense) the development branch: Balance interests in fixing bugs and
adding new functionality.  Clearly closing all branches won't
automatically make people fixing bugs, but somehow we need to improve
on the current situation.

Maybe more maintainers for some parts of the compilers?

Some maintainers have many things to sort out similtaneously so they
get quickly very busy...
