I think that you have it a bit wrong, here. Ramon is extremely
capable, as is Stefano. I too have the needed skill, and can gather
the knowledge on demand.
No, what is lacking is time. Ramon and I are both upperclassmen at our
various universities. Stefano has a full time job, IIRC. This project
is a fascinating hobby, but it can't always have the highest priority.

You say that you don't have the understanding to do any work right
now, but you do have the desire. The difference between a hacker and a
coder is not that the hacker has some great cosmic understanding. The
difference between a hacker and a coder is that the hacker doesn't let
lack of understanding stop him; instead, he reads and experiments
until he has the understanding.

You want to do something, but are frustrated because others of us are
not moving at the pace you would like. Be a hacker. Move the project
forward at a pace that suits you. The rest of us will keep up or not,
but the project will go forward. This is why we make the source code
public in the first place: to empower people like you.

With respect,
Daniel
