Exactly. A promise is a promise, and a real man (or woman) does not break his promises. If you volunteer [promise] to take care of bugs, you take care of bugs - barring any unforeseen events, of course.
And no, boring bugs are not unforeseen events.
When I volunteered for OSNews (yes, we are a voluntary effort too) I promised David, OSNews' owners, I would take on the role of primary editor - including all the shite that comes with it. Does me being a volunteer mean I can ignore the more tedious tasks of OSNews? Of course not - they are part of the job and I knew that when I accepted the invitation to work here.
