I'm pleasantly surprised to see so many Nix enthusiasts milling around in this thread and I'd like to encourage people to step up and do their part in helping improve and maintain nixpkgs. It's really not that hard, and it's the main area I would say Nix could do with some improvement. Adopt a package today!

I tried doing some non-trivial contributions, and unfortunately there's currently some degree of a problem where there are not enough people actively revieving contributions and having enough authority in the project to be able to merge with confidence. Is it maybe not enough sponsorship for the project, compared to its popularity? Or does it not have a person with enough organisational experience in non-profits?
