I don't know if this is feasible in this community
- but wanted to
put it out is as a possible direction.
Our commit access approval is quite liberal already, however it's not
completely instantaneous - people still need to contribute a few
patches before being allowed to work on core, due to the importance of
security in MediaWiki as it's being used on a top 5 website. We
already have 315 commiters (a few of accounts are dupes though). The
problem is not about attracting more contributors, it's about
reviewing and deploying their code.
