Agreed.  Contributing to the git project itself was quite eye opening.   
They are very particular about the patch format and a few processes 
involved were very long.  They also don't use github. That said, the 
community was pretty open to the patches (once I got the format correct) 
and it took about average amount of work to get my code submitted.
