I don't think it takes much special expert skill to contribute. You can
contribute things like typo-fixes, improve the manual, better organize the
NEWS entries. And then there are ways to contribute to actual code without
being an expert programmer either.

I just don't know of anybody working on it. I don't think people work on
issues because they are pressing in general, but rather because they find
it important/interesting/entertaining/...
I'm pretty happy with my 6x13 fixed font, so I'm not going to spend
my time on anti-aliasing although I agree it would be nice to have.
