As a contributor I take a different stance here. When Andrei/Walter or someone from the "higher ranks" asks me about working on a specific feature or pull I'll be ready to jump on it as soon as possible. To me the issue was never about finding what to work on, but prioritizing what's important. So I wouldn't necessarily say that requesting someone to work on something would look bad or be perceived as wanting that someone to do work for free. I think there's plenty of us here who are eager to work on things. I know Andrei said he already tried to ask some members of the community to work on some issues, to no avail. I don't know which issues they were though, but if I'm involved in any of them just ping me and I'll jump to work ASAP.
