I think you've been really carrying the load and it ought to be better shared.

I'd also suggest we consider process changes to make it less overwhelming.  
Right now it seems like motu-sru is expected to look at any bug that anyone 
wants fixed in a stable release.  I think it'd be better if motu-sru didn't 
get involved until after someone had decided they were going to try and fix 
it.
