Yes. *precisely* this.
It's a -huge- barrier. Sending a pull-request on GitHub for a 20-line fix you made is a 2-minute job.
Printing, enveloping, adressing, signing, driving to post-office, buy postage (to an abroad location, ofcourse), mail, wait for a week or a month -- *then* send a 20-line patch ?
Forget it. Not happening.

The FSF accepts scanned and emailed paperwork these days, at least sometimes.

Only for those in the US and Germany, AFAICT. Probably not coincidentally, those are the countries for which the paper version is already least onerous, as it doesn't require international mail.
