I didn't say it was a change to the core fdo policy. I said that editing
a paragraph containing core fdo policy might be intimidating for people
who aren't sure if they will end up being rebuffed or complained for
their efforts.

And you're right -- the Getting Involved page does not include a link to
the Account Requests page, which is a problem, since it means the
Getting Involved page doesn't really tell people how to get involved (as
a developer). But searching for "account" turns up the Account Request
page as the second link, so it's not like it's not discoverable.
