Yes, "Not a well coordinated community" means that too many tasks are not taken care of (due to lack of resources, obviously). I wish that would change and I can't imagine you being happy with it either.
Resolving this needs more than a forum post. That is why I used the word "restructure"; "structure" may have been better. I'm pretty sure this isn't a misconception or misunderstanding. I don't compare this to other open source communities, btw. I just see few people do the work while there are more than 8000 community members.
Let's see in two weeks if Dave's "empty the bugtracker" post attracts people. Anybody that can set up a new server (HEAD) can help verify the bugs.
The roadmap is necessary. There is a "roadmap" for releases and CVS management where you volunteered to do a lot of work. A roadmap tells the community what to expect and where to add to the limited resources, IMO.
