For one: He can. He can submit a pull request via github or FR in bugs.php.net. He can also send a mail to internals@ without subscribing. due to "Reply-to-all" he will be part of the discussion around it. But we want active contributors with an interest in the system. A programming language isn't developed by looking at items in separation but things interact with each other (yes, adding a library function here or there to PHP can be looked at in some isolation, most things however not) johannes
