I'm sorry to say that I don't have enough time to step up in any real
sustained way.  I've been continually amazed and grateful for the amount
of time you have been able to give to our community.

Likewise, my org expertise is fairly one or two sided, leaving out large
swaths of functionality -- e.g. I have no idea how GTD works.

If this is possible (I know we've talked about an org-mode based bug
tracker before with lukewarm results) then I should be able to help
tackle the stray bug such a model.

On org-babel we've had some success tracking pending development, and
tracking bugs in a single monolithic org-mode file in a github
repository [1].
