There are _quite_ a lot of ways in which anyone can contribute without
being a programmer. (Speaking from personal experience.)

Now, the specific problem you’ve stumbled upon happens to be one that
involves some of the trickiest, most specialized parts of LilyPond’s
codebase. However, by taking some trivial stuff out of the plate of
more experienced contributors, you may help give them more time to
tackle complicated issues. At least, that’s how I’ve seen my own
contributions for the past twelve years.
