He's too busy finding other bugs. ;)

Though seriously, given the large scope of bugs that he reports, I doubt that he 
knows enough to fix very many of them. Particularly if they're compiler bugs, it 
can take a lot of knowledge about exactly how dmd, druntime, and phobos work to 
be able to come up with appropriate fixes.
