Matthew Flatt and most of the core team are readily available through slack or the mailing list and often answer themselves, even to newbies. Being a hobbyist myself, I think this ivory tower reputation is undeserved. Few people really understand racket under the hood because it's the product of the greatest minds in scheme. That makes the pool of 'experts' people can query very small, and I think it's honestly too much to ask from the core team to answer to everyone. Racket teaches humility and perseverance, which I find to be a very good thing.
