Better than giving false hopes. BGA is seriously understaffed, and some of those 'suggestions' are practically impossible (e.g. undo in every game).

Now that BGA is owned by a hedge fund, there really isn't any desire to donate free developer time if it's just going to benefit some billionaire hedge fund owners.

Any proof of that ??? I havent noticed any differences on the dev side since the change of owner.
Fixing game bugs was always an issue on bga, that's why they introduced the bounty hunter feature but it never took off that much.

What was the bounty hunter feature?

The developer who fixes bugs/implements suggestions on the bounty list (without breaking something) gets gift points equal to 10 x upvote points.
It is still active, but I have never seen it being used.

There are different kind of developers, some people design and update sites, and others develop games. You can't ask the developer of one field to suddenly take over work in the other field, nor tell thel to halt everything and not do any updates to the site until the game developers are caught up.

That's like complaining that traffic police is holding people back with all the checks and inspections in traffic, while there are countless of murders and burglaries to investigate, and they should be bothering the "little guys". Different department, different skillsets. One does his work, the others do their work.
