That statement actually describes the Debian project as a whole (not
just bts-using services/teams). There are extensive processes in
Debian for everything, and as such its not going to necessarily be
easy for any newcomer.
Then again, that may not be such a bad thing as it means that
*qualified* newcomers have already demonstrated the fact that they can
educate themselves. If that means answering similar questions
somewhat regularly, so be it. A simple link to the developers
reference often suffices. That's not so hard.
Best wishes,
Mike
