I have commit access and relationships with most of the primary authors.
The issue is mostly motivating us to review the code. Asking, and making
it seem like something people care about are things that help me stay
involved.

You can also try trac.xiph.org, the various upstream mailing lists, and
the the upstream irc channels: #xiph, #vorbis, #theora.
