And that is good, lest every bozo starts contributing code that may or may not work, or even wreak havoc. In other words, you need competence. Competence that you don't just attribute yourself with, but that is recognized by a group of people who have been showing high degrees of competence themselves. I.e. core maintainers.

And that is exactly the status quo.

I don't see what's difficult about this to understand.
