People could change this attitude by contributing to FPC. But very few
do constantly with high quality patches.
Not at all. My experience is that contributing to FPC compiler development is
just a waste of time.
1.) First you have to convince core compiler developers that your idea is good.
Well, it is not about ideas but contribution in the sense of maintenance
as I mentioned below. So basically bug fixing, release building and
testing etc.
The number of unfixed bugs in the bug tracker continuously increases and
this is a reason to be very careful with new "ideas". I have also a lot
of ideas where I could slap together a half-baken patch (well, actually
I often do, most of it is in my private git repository), but finalizing
everything and fixing bugs is what's missing.
