Personally, I think that it's the copyright assignment that's the biggest barrier. For someone who figured out how to use Emacs, it shouldn't be very hard to figure out how to use a mailing list too.
- juxtapose 3y agoThis. A mailing-list-driven workflow is not as difficult as it appears, and Magit makes everything a breeze. However, I cannot complete the copyright assignment process, and consequently I am unable to contribute to the Emacs proper beyond a few lines of trivial changes. It is so discouraging that I stopped working on the Emacs core [1] altogether: your contributions won't be acknowledged at all, even if someone volunteers to rewrite your code from scratch. [1] I've been hacking some GUI-related features, but I'm not motivated enough to complete them. I also tried to write patches for my bug reports, but alas, my "CA-free" quota is already used up.
