Don't know if it affects your thinking, but "anyone" in this case means 
"anyone with a github account". Github have some pretty aggressive 
spambots that police accounts, so it's not /quite/ like letting the 
kiddies in with their crayons.

Anyway, perhaps crowd-sourcing support is not the right way to go. The 
user community is pretty small, after all, and may not be able to 
contribute at a high enough level. For most people Subsurface "just 
works", and if it doesn't, they wander off.
