The Clojure development process is notoriously closed to outsiders.

Even in the early years, some people contributed time and code, and weren’t thanked. I would view attempts to contribute as very high risk for newcomers.

I personally maintained a fork for a couple years just for an unmerged patch I needed, rather than try to get the core team to merge it.

I think you may have missed the 'jk' (just kidding) at the end of my post.
