If you want to know, I knew that from day number one.

Just happens I have plenty of luck. And, in the worst case, we will end 
with a bug fixing system that we can reuse for life.

Do you mean that patches usually lead to disagreements with project 
maintainers?

And when you say "convincing the project maintainers", what are you 
referring to? Convincing them of making the fix, or of accepting the fix?

One thing that smells a lot is that Canonical is focusing more in 
reporting bugs fast than patching bugs.

It's just that the people who wants to contribute is usually technical 
skilled, or just they feel not skilled enough to help with bugs.

So the key aspect this project to succeed is to make bug fixing easy and 
fast by design, by slow cooking:
