I think you are confusing the roles of "contributor" and "maintainer".

Some volunteer just came in with their valuable time and got turned away. GNU is a free software organization - part of their life blood is volunteers. Just because someone doesn't have a background in that particular thing doesn't mean they should be dismissed.

No need to just adopt someone else's free hours and enthusiasm, no matter how small the favor is. I have some thing like 20 different research ideas and small helpful tasks that I could just write about in the space of 15 minutes each day! How experienced are you? Do you have a resume? How much time do you have that's free? Does it have to be bison or can it be a subject of another interest, provided it suits your fascination?
