Sometimes it's difficult to get the attention of the core devs, they have to prioritize like everyone else.

One of the approaches used on the Django mailing list was a 5 for 1 offer.. this is where you help out on 5 tickets (usually low priority ones), and a senior/core dev will look at one of your tickets in return (no guarantees of a fix, just purely to get their attention/comments)

Would this approach be welcomed by the FS core team? Could be a great way of not only getting more tickets looked at, whilst providing a reward for doing so (as an alternative to bountys)
