What we need (and hope through some miracle to have the time for) a
doc that explains the steps needed to report a bug/submit a patch
(basically the issue lifecycle) and how to propose a new language
feature. That would clean up the dev FAQ into basically being a svn
FAQ, and then give us docs to point people to when they ask how they
can contribute.
