The use of "you" in this post is more than a little tiresome. It's not until your fourth paragraph that you use the word 'one,' and I find it somewhat amusing that's the sentence you switched during. Are you not willing to explicitly delegate others to service, or you think it sounds better if you passively include yourself?
Are you actually willing to work hard? Perhaps you could prove it by cleaning up the issue tracker.
I'm willing to work hard, but I'd prefer to demonstrate that by completing a task that would have a benefit besides a gain in social status amongst people on the Internet, such as by completing relevant academic work and gaining internships in fields I'm interested in.
I'm not sure what this would accomplish from his perspective. Cleaning up the issue tracker is (probably) not the best use of his time, unless I'm missing something.
