I think the issue is vetting the contribution. Microsoft wants to protect itself and make sure that anything in the "core" hasn't violated an existing copyright. As I understand it, Microsoft considers it prohibitivly expensive to ensure that all contributions aren't already copywritten, which is why they don't accept patches to the core yet. Once the DLR is stabilized they will allow contributions to the IronRuby core because it can no longer influence the DLR core.
