The new contribution workflow for GNOME

For reference, previously contributing to GNOME meant compiling git master of loads of different components. Which means installing the needed development libraries in some cases. It's like an 3-7 day trial and error process to get started. Plus sometimes someone breaks 'git master' of one of the many components. It might even be a component GNOME depends on but doesn't maintain.

The whole process is terribly cumbersome and I wouldn't be surprised if loads of people gave up way before. You can also tell this because Google Summer of Code brings in most new contributors.
