what's nice about needing to learn what fork, commit, and pull are, is a nice barrier to entry for developers to contribute. This is counter-intuitive since as many people should get involved as possible. But this is more true for things like spotting bugs or user testing and much less for actually contributing code.
What's there to learn? You just click buttons in a web interface. Click fork, click "edit", click "save", click "send pull request". It's like Web 2.0 for free software...
