To Birgitte: I recommend befriending some developer or toolserver types, and occasionally throw in a casual request for the status of your latest (least) favourite bug. See if you can get someone to write a toolserver tool that performs more or lless the same function as MediaWiki should. This has been a remarkably successful approach at Commons, although we'd prefer the MW solution of course. :)
Unfortunately I do not believe the toolserver can help us display musical notation, protect only a portion of a page from editing, or allow specialized transclution. I do try to remind people about outstanding issues but I am wondering how many other people are becoming frustrated with this. It seems a great deal of very minor issues are handled for en.WP very quickly. They have recently gotten help to rearrange the side bar display of all things. Yet everyone says the developers are overworked. So I would think somehow this system of prioritizing what gets done (bugzilla) must be broken.
Now this is my personal opinion. I care ten times more that the development needs of my community are more fairly addressed, than that the community's voices in the Board Elections are not drowned out by en.WP.
