@davidgerard “the community should stop trying to make contribution easy.” Oh, were they trying? I couldn’t tell.

So then, as a matter of policy, it is difficult to contribute as an attempt at discouraging low-effort patches. And they also do not want to teach new people how to contribute. But spam bots don’t get discouraged, so they’re still around. So now they complain about the patch spam and blame new contributors but see no problem with the system. Fascinating.
