I'm not sure insulting the people who worked on Vector is the best way to motivated them to fix things. At the last company I worked for (which owns a couple of top 100 websites and has a staff of thousands), they didn't even care about their sites working right on iPhones. Considering the number of cell phones that Vector does work on, and the fact that it was implemented by a small handful of developers, I think they should be commended rather than insulted. But that's just me. (FYI, I had no involvement in Vector development.)
A suggestion: post to the techblog with precisely what you need from what classes of users. This can then be spread around the bogosphere and recruit all the help with browser issues you could want.
This is a useful suggestion and I'll see if it's doable.
