Well tools JIRA vs GitHub could be a side discussion though as you might noticed, I'm mostly a JIRA guy.

I use the following dashboard: https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Dashboard.jspa?selectPageId=12332552

And from time to time, check the recent issues: https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Dashboard.jspa?selectPageId=12332552

So aside of that tribes might work, though all I know is that there is a focus area and a lead for each tribe. How to recruit tribe members is another issue.

My ideas:

 * Launch a "fix your own issue" program. We might provide initial
   guidelines/mentor for a fix
 * We have a few people who file quality bug reports, we might ask them
   to contribute code as well.
 * A list of easy-fix issues with some guidelines
 * Some of us are working in education, probably they can pick up some
   issues and implement/fix them during the semester, though some
   people shall mentor them as well.

The problem identified thus far is that we're discussing here, on GitHub,
and in JIRA.

That is suboptimal.

It is also difficult to know how to prioritize issues in this way.

How can we best solve this -- could the tribe idea work? Can those who have
filed issues maybe start a thread on a specific issue that they highly
prioritize?

Ideally, of course, anyone filing an issue would go further and create a
discussion thread and even better a pull request.

Neither helpful, nor true! ;-)

I certainly hope not, having been on the bus since Xelfi. But NB does seem
to be declining in mindshare.
