Also it acts as a way of supporting ad hoc contributors and so making
the whole community more cohesive and supportive.  Any system focused on
"core developer who do the work" and "everyone else who just makes
suggestions" is going to lead to problems.  Systems where "core
developers" develop and mentor "ad hoc contributors" in an active way,
will end up as far better systems.
