If something is not getting any attention, then it probably means that not
enough people with the appropriate technical skills give a shit about it.
This is usually a good barometer of whether something is useful to the
established masses of serious users or not.
If you care about it, then you are the logical person to work on those

No one works on things they don't care about - you get very bad output if
you are 'forced' to do something you don't want to do.
