For what it's worth, I appreciate this discussion taking place on this mailing list. As someone who follows the project and wants to get involved, I have seen and experienced many of the challenges being discussed. The energy and expertise around trying to come up with a solution is exciting to see and I hope this will result in opening the doors to more developers being able to jump in.
I know it's off topic, but I thought it was worth noting the impact which often goes unspoken. Thanks!
