Sure, because fixing bugs is very unsexy.

It's great to get all the feature contributions before a feature
freeze, but I wish it was as easy to get people to fix bugs. It's a
shame, because while contributing features may be more fun for an
experienced developer, fixing a bug is probably the best way for a
newcomer to the community to get a foot in the door. The complexity of
bugs varies, but there are always a few which are minor enough to be
tackled by a newbie.
