The first couple of responses made me think that I need to clarify this. The Trac Managers are not responsible for fixing the bugs. (They're certainly welcome to if they wish!) This doesn't require knowledge of TG's code or anything like that. All it requires is
1) a willingness to move the tickets to the right releases 2) a user-centric view of the problems with TG, the minor features, the easy wins 3) spotting patches that need to go in or have comment early on This is only technical work insofar as TG is a technical product.
