How can we get started on the code unless we have some idea of where
to start on the code? Sure we could just code whatever, but why would
we waste time on things that may be useless?

I don't understand. Is newbies learning new things a waste to you? Do
you think they won't really learn anything unless the patch is
approved? Or will the patches not be subject to peer review? Or are
you worried at who would pass for peer review getting overwhelmed by a
huge volume of poor quality patches?

Man, you've got a lot of anger to deal with.
