Right, now you twisting what we we're talking about. You asked how people get changes made if even you didn't know what to do.

I said they mainly email webmaster, which isn't an opinion about what should happen. It is fact, it does happen regularly.

*We* interact on -www when something is more than a simple action item, and I'd expect you to mail any requests there because you are well aware that that is where we discuss web stuff. Everything else can and does feed in via webmaster.

The technical howto is in the root of the source. I don't recall ever being asked for a non-technical howto.

If you feel we need a faq or doc item to tell ppl how to join -www and get started, please feel free to write a patch for the developer faq or raise the issue on -www if you feel it should go elsewhere on the website.
