Have you successfully gotten patches applied?  My impression has been 
that they are very willing to talk about our problems but not been very 
open to our approaches to fixing them.  It could be a misperception or 
miscommunication but the project seems very cathedral-ish with the 
unfortunate addition that the dev team isn't focused on large sites and 
therefore has suboptimal solutions in mind for our problems.
