Note: the relevant maintainers, or default bug owners will likely have 
to be consulted I expect; as well as mentor bug fixes in their module(s) 
if they are deemed top bugs.  I'm really hoping to bring someone fresh 
into the GOK project to help out. It might be a good way of learning a 
bit about GOK and then to perhaps participate in planning out the 
overall OSK and Alt-Input roadmap in GNOME.
