I want to make a clarification. I did comment on that PR that we are describing how the community is operating today, but that was in response to suggestions to reference the comdev project, lower the requirements, and add a requirement for loving the project and helping the community. My intent is to say that we're open to discussion, but that I want to make sure we get the guidelines published before we make changes.
I was NOT saying that we don't value non-code contributions today. We do, and we made sure that the doc doesn't talk about only code. It refers to contributions and reviews, not code.
