You don't need to be smart.  You only need to care.

Issue 979 is currently blocked because a simple test case fails.
Maybe that case has been fixed in waf's svn by now.  If not, try
asking the waf guy to fix it.  I'm pretty certain he could fix it in
30 minutes or so, once he'd been convinced it was a useful feature.

Of course, as long as nobody talks to him, it's not going to be fixed.
 Oh dear.  If only we had somebody who liked to talk to people, learn
about open-source projects, make new friends, etc.


Really, all we need is somebody to spend 1 hour a week working on waf.
 Ok, it might take a full year -- but that's still infinitely faster
than the current progress on this issue.  And once things start
moving, we might get other people volunteering 1 hour per week as
well.
