[LEDE-DEV] Drumming up more interest in LEDE

[Mauro Mozzarelli]

I have been trying to make a very simple contribution to LEDE, but it 
has been a frustrating process because my contribution got stuck due to 
form rather than substance.

Unfortunately this might turn away contributors who do not have the 
patience to persevere.

I would like to suggest, that when a new potential contributor is 
putting forward his proposed change, an expert buddy is assigned to 
guide the new contributor through to getting his changes reviewed and 
pushed into the mainstream code. A successful contribution would mean a 
lot and inspire more work.
