    Not that much, unfortunately.

    The entire process of contributing is a huge pain and makes it rather hard for new people to join.

      I think this is by design. I once contributed to git, and it required putting a patch in the mailing list. It certainly forced you to be sure your code was spot on.

        And it will discourage new users from contributing. Thus, only boomers and corpos will contribute, and over time Linux becomes a de facto corporate owned committee.
