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.

Hi Is LEDE ready to try and get more people from the wider community involved?

A thought I had is to do a code optimization week.
I know that LEDE is optimized to fit on small flash chips, but It mite be a good way of getting other coders to look in the code to see if they can save a bite here and there, or try and make something run a little faster. Or if that is know good what about a bug bash week? MS has bug bashes and they seem to get a lot of people talking about windows 10. I am not a coder and don't understand all the ins and outs of what I am talking about, but I like LEDE. If just one new dev or doc righter was to be added to the team it is a net win for all.

If something like this was to be tryed you could post about it on the forLinux forums and on Slashdot, Hacker News and /r/linux r/openwrt.
