What I meant I wrote what I did back then was not that this policy would
encourage more contributors, but that it ensured that contributors were
known to the team, and we'd had a chance to point out to them the various
team policies and practices to help their learning and reduce the instance
of having to correct problems later.
But my opinion alone on this shouldn't count for muchm as my
contributions at the perl-team level have dropped off considerably
recently...
