I believe a lot of major bugs were moved to the backlog without their
authors being able to do anything, including bugs with patches ready to
commit or where developers had already investigated the problem.

In particular some people told me they had been severely put off by
CMake development when their bugs with attached patches that really
improved CMake were moved to the backlog and ignored.

I know, it was not your intention, but this strategy looks like
"see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil"

And even more worse it demotivates contributors.
Hope you find a better solution.
