I already said I didn't think this was a good idea, and explained why
I thought so.

In any case, that section hardly has any bearing on the main issue at
hand: how to make it easier for people to contribute.  I explained
that as well.

I'd appreciate if this seasonal "what's wrong with Emacs
contributions" discussion would either switch to discussing some
innovative and useful ideas for how to make it easier for
contributors, or just died if there are no such ideas yet.
Reiterating the same claims and the same arguments doesn't sound like
a good use of our time and bandwidth.
