What exactly do you want to fix? And how do features block you from fixing it?
This is all to hand wavy.
And you cannot force volunteers to just work on bugfixes for 6 months
instead of working on new stuff if that's what you mean. (that would
be pretty pointless anyway).

The only conclusion I get out of this thread is that releng is
apparently unable to cope with there tasks while making progress on
improving stuff (whatever this improvements are).
So we need more resources (people) working on releng stuff not force
everyone to just fix bugs for 6 months.
