I haven't contributed anything to GnomeShell (yet...) besides an unaccepted patch. Anyway I don't feel that the project is very company driven though some things could possibly be improved. The main issue I see is that there is a mailing list where lots of discussion of interested people happens but the developers and designers hardly comment on any of the ideas. The also results in ideas coming up again and again without a final judgment by the design team. Sure there is also lots of crap on the gnome-shell-list but I think people from outside would at least have a better feeling when their ideas seem to be noticed and discussed by the devs/designers. The answer "discuss this with the design team on IRC" might be a bit discouraging for some people. Other than that, people are generally very helpful on IRC so I don't think there is a general bad attitude against new contributors.
