While that is true (re-defining `code’ here as anything/work that is part of 
that what the communities are about - be it it code, scripts, build 
improvements, sites, beter CVE finding, bug-triage, doc-templates, dependency 
simplification) — I’d love to somehow keep `code’ in the primary path of what 
is on offer.

As it is (pride in) that which, in my opinion, drives the feedbackloop that 
improves and keeps our communities long term stable. 

The mere hint of introducing a class of `byproduct code’ may lessen the K in 
that feedback loop below 1. And keep the `byproduct’ your aforementioned:
