The activity on the Symfony repository is huge: new issues and pull requests are created every day, and often these are legitimate bug reports and high quality pull requests. To continue the health and advance the quality of the project, it's critically important to confirm bugs and review pull requests as quickly as possible. If you find and report a real bug but get a slow response from the community on the issue tracker, that means that many other people may experience this same bug before it's fixed.

The only scalable solution is the community: you. More than anything, Symfony needs "triagers": the wonderful people who find an issue for a potential bug, reproduce it, then comment. Or, people who find a pull request, review (and try) the code, and comment. These people are the un-sung heroes of Symfony, like Stof, xabbuh, WouterJ, jakzal and others. But we need more. How can we empower people?
