Anyone can learn to code. If you don't have the time or the energy you can make use of the bounty system. Put up some money, the more people willing to put up cash the cheaper per person it will be to motivate someone to do the work for you. The system works if you're willing to participate. Your problem is that open source doesn't cater to those unwilling to participate and that's a big fat duh. No thing moves without motivation. If you're not willing to do the work you have to provide the motivation for someone else to do the work. If you don't vote you don't count. Seems a rather fair system to me.
