I've some skills to apply too, and I think the code walkthrough is a great
start.  I've ported a few complex packages, and getting started midstream in
MythTV is very time-consuming without a walkthrough to answer the basic
questions....

As for bugzilla, I've used it too in a couple of environments and it is as
good as the "owner".  Invariably someone has to police it to set priorities
and follow-up activity.  This followup gets to be a full-time job, so
someone who likes to code wouldn't want to run bugzilla.  But if the lead
developers (who like to code) don't want to follow the bugzilla lead, it all
falls into disrepair.

But big, successful projects usually profit from some condensed
organization.....
