I think many of the problems are very clear, but the solutions
are not. Not only that, even when the solution is very clear, the
solution almost always requires people with time, but there are
not enough people with enough time...
I get the "we don't have time to fix this" argument, but it's kind of circular: we can't attract more contributors, because we can't make the project more attractive to contributors, because we don't have enough contributors.
We can't fix everything in a single go, but we can do two things:
1. If you're in hole, stop digging: when we make changes, we should make sure they don't make things worse for new contributors
2. Let's do one thing that helps every release cycle. Review one PR, fix one paragraph of out-of-date documentation.
