David, no worry about insulting anyone -- you raise good points.

Ted will tell you that only code matters. But, I think some things other than just code matter to some of the people involved.
While Ted can speak for himself, I don't think that he'd tell you that. He himself is an avid documenter, and posted a detailed message last week to the dev list about how project management works in Apache projects, which is largely about the non-coding parts:

More generally, contributions of documentation are appreciated, and it is totally conceivable that a person could be invited to be a committer based purely on non-code contributions.
In Apache, a more accurate statement would be "only community matters."
