Well of course but i really missed some voices from those high-profile developers. BTW nothing would change for them, especially no increase in work-load.
If you would like a voice from a high profile developer, here is my voice: I find work on core to be incredibly, mind-numbingly dull. Not due to the work, but due to the difficulty of getting it committed. If i had to go through a gateway process on my own projects, where someone who doesn't even necessarily understand the project has to decide whether or not it gets committed was in the way, I would certainly have never ended up a big time Drupal developer. The openness of contrib allowed me to succeed on my own merits. It has allowed others to fail on their own merits. What it hasn't yet done is provided the community a way of letting people know about the successes and failures of developers. We need to focus on community moderation, not source code moderation.
