You're not right. Just compare the frequency of SVN commits now versus just a year ago. The growth in development is palpable. However, this is one reason that the problem of bugs and regressions is so urgent.
But what this upsurge is all about, is people working on their own projects. What I'm talking about is supporting Inkscape in general.
For example, my areas of contribution -should- be DOM, binding, and tracing. Yet I never seem to have any time to work on these, with the daily calls for Win32 stuff. I very much want to cut my time on w32 by at least 75%.
We -really- need volunteers to help with the mundane, boring, thankless stuff like maintaining up-to-date dependencies, finding bugs, doing builds, and being a liaison with Gtk and Cairo. We really need to broaden the bandwidth on this, to avoid the inevitable contributor crash and burnout.
