Most of the items in the queue are pretty much idle. I don't believe
anyone is working on any particular item. Post a comment in the issue
if you are! If you're able to supply a patch to one of the issues, its
importance rises exponentially. I opened an issue and supplied a patch
for something recently and it was added to the trunk within a few days.
