One person stepped up to the plate to try to (start) solving the problem:

 [Alan Bell]
 * debian/patches/01_remove_redundant_sliders.patch:
   - remove sliders which are redundant and potentially dangerous
     combination when using the mousewheel to scroll the page

This is in precise now. Thanks Alan!

More to Petko's point; we do have Compiz bugs and outreach as part of
the general Unity developer growth. In my experience however it's very
difficult to get new volunteers to be able to just dive into Compiz
because it's complicated.

And as far as I can tell no one cared about it's state in Ubuntu
before and so far out of all the recommendations and flames on the
internet for how to fix it only one person has even tried since then.
