Enthusiastic +1, right on the mark John.

It may be painful in the short term as you can definitely do things faster & better. However, getting that next generation on their feet grows and diversifies the community.

Personally most the time I used to spend directly fixing user reported problems, I now spend reviewing patches and trying to enable others to contribute fixes instead. If successful, this has a multiplier effect that grows the base of people capable of contributing and is, I think, the best use of the limited committer resources we have available. So don't tell me what you want to see fixed. Tell me how I can help you to fix them.
