Hey, I'm not WMF so I'm not the best one to answer the question but I think your statement is overgeneralizing. Some teams have more resource constraints than the other ones and treating all of WMF as a big monolith doesn't seem to be a good approach. I think you should be more precise and give a more clear statement on what do you think is wrong.
Two other things to note: 1- As a developer who loves to fix bugs, the reason I can't sometimes fix a bug is that it's not clearly defined, and/or there's no proper instruction to reproduce. Don't always blame the other party. 2- Everything is open-source and as non-profit, there's always resource constraint. If it's really important to you, feel free to make a patch and the team would be always more than happy to review.
Best

The backlog for bugs are pretty large (that is an understatement), even for bugs with know fixes and available patches. Is there any real plan to start fixing them? Shall I keep telling the community the bugs are "tracked"?
