Try to maintain a package big as OOo which has loads of bogus bugs. You'll soon be swamped under them and don't get them under control.
I really have no need or interest to do pacakge maintaing. I am glad that others do that. I do my translation work instead and tries to be a friendly sport about that. I can see that me submitting three strings for openoffice.org doesn't look like an effort or anything that really needs a system to be dealt with. And it would need that if it was just that one package with three strings, I can not talk for others but I use a system for this and schedules the work to be done. With a close deadline I have to rearrange in the schedule and it might be that I can not find proper time to do stuff - for this time I had no real rush for other things and as I told before I think oo.o is among the packages that needs proper translations. Unfortunatley you gave me a uncalled for correction to a point that was irreversible. If I had failed other packages because of the rearrangements for oo.o I would have been really, really pissed of because I do not need that treatment. But as you implied, my sense is not in the qality of the package - you are right, my sense for the work is in the quality of my own strings and my own contributions. if you want to shit face me that's up to you but please do not tell me that.
