I understand your point about the lack of resources. For sure, more
contributors/workforce would be the solution to most issues.
But let's face it, the "lack of resources" problem has been there
for years, and despite of all efforts made by the project teams, the
number of contributors doens't grow that much. In parallel to making
efforts to get more contributors, we have to deal with this lack of
resources in the Eclipse community. A way to deal with this is to
provide some guidance to make the best things happen with the
current amount of contributors. And Eclipse Foundation is IMO the
only organization which is able to be efficient at listening to the
"market" of IDEs and provide summaries of what people from outside
of the community see as main issues in Eclipse in a sustainable.
Then the Foundation could provide recommendation to projects so they
could take them into account in their roadmap or in the way they
prioritize bugs.
