It's not only the release cycle.

How can one explain the passionate posting of "REMINDER #7" (weekly
reminders) on the core list?

On various places people are encouraged to post patches on the core list.
After downloading the versions in SVN, carefully fixing trunk and
appropriate branches, generating patches, copying posts and taking the
courage to actually submit a patch you are welcomed with
- comments telling you that the solution is wrong (okay it was an ugly
solution to an even uglier problem)
- one question regarding the relation to another bug
- silence
- silence

I know the core team is very busy, they are volunteers, etc. but if others
are willing to lend a hand it would also be the responsibility of core
team members to guide, help and encourage these other volunteers. Or is
this a crazy idea? ... "Inspiring people to share" ...

Maybe there needs to be a paid person to pick up some pieces which are
left alone by volunteers? The old issues nobody cares about, the patches
that nobody wants to consider, etc.

I'm only thinking out loud and maybe I'm not the right person to say this,
but as some others have noticed too that the situation needs some
improvement...
