This growth of SubmittingPatches and related documents also partly means
that we now have
- more tools available for QA before posting,
- more documentation on these tools,
- more comprehensive documentation on the workflows.
To some degree, this should make contributions easier rather than harder.
It may of course also mean that some expectations are higher now, as you
are saying AFAIU. However, with scarce reviewer base (and scarce early
testers base, compared to the whole userbase), it's not a bad thing for
the project health if patches, when first posted, already have a good
level of quality. We want many good contributions, not just many
contributions. Of course if there were many reviewers and many mentors,
than we could do with lower initial quality of submissions.
