I can tell you exactly what my problem is.  The tools are terrible.  In 
projects with a useful issue tracking system I can take small chunks 
out of my day to contribute to specific items that I feel interested in 
or competent about.  With PostgreSQL, you need to read all the mailing 
lists all the time to even know where things are, let alone do anything 
about them.  Moreover, it doesn't help that you need to have a 
high-speed internet connection or a superfast disk to do any effective 
work with the version control system.
