"we don’t have to accept good code from dickheads either"

Good code is not that hard to come by. There's this notion of oh no, what if you accidentally turn down some good code, what if you turn down someone who could eventually write good code, what if you piss off someone who could write good code just because they're a twat, etc.

A good contributor is much more useful than a bunch of good code. A good contributor brings some good code or docs or translations in, helps with integrating it to the project, and if they stick around, they are a positive addition to the team. They help maintain a workable environment. They're open to learning, collaborating, feedback, improvement, and criticism. And they can do the same as those hypothetical twats you turn down.

Coding is not that difficult.
