Just read the latest blog post with all the updates for 1.6. Very excited to see the active progress! One thing that I feel would help exposure and to increase outsiders to submit patches and possible commits is to make the switch from SVN/GoogleCode to GitHub + Lighthouse. Just look at the Rails project, since the switch, there has been a massive influx of people deciding to help out and submit their patches for review and thus the project has become better and more stable overall. Check out Ryan Bate's screen cast to see how easy it is to submit at patch. Fastforward to 8:00 if you want to skip all the rails talk and just see the commit process. http://media.railscasts.com/videos/113_contributing_to_rails_with_git.mov
Other that breaking down the barriers for people to commit, I noticed 1.6 is going through a lot of stripping, adding, and re-factoring. Git will make it SO much easier to manage these commits and you can always keep your focus on code. jQuery has gotten a lot of adoption and attention from the rails and merb community, so there is massive amount of good coders who are willing to submit patches that you can tap into by making the switch. I was a long time SVN user and now I cannot see how any one would possible not want to make the switch!
