Your remark doesn't address the point that the web site doesn't say how 
to join the team.

But, yes, that is part of my point, and you make my point which you seem 
to have snipped out.  I restored the rest of the quoted paragraph above.

I have considered that developers reject my (and other people's) help 
for personal reasons.  This would be wrong and not consistent with the 
stated standards of what is supposed to be a merit based system.  But, 
mostly, what I see is that they want to do things their way; if you 
question that, then they don't want your help -- but that is really the 
same thing isn't it?
