I think we should make arrangments for contributors to be able to get 
some pointers about how to go about a particular fix before they start.  
It is a shame when someone pus a lot of effort into a patch just to find 
out that it conflicts with a general direction that all the reviewers 
know about but a new contributor has no way of knowing about.  
Similarly, guiding new contributos on how to break up a big patch into a 
series of smaller ones (rather than just telling them to do so) would be 
good.
