From p5.js 2.0 and an open source philosophy:
"It's often better in the long run to mentor someone who will implement a feature rather than writing it yourself. [...] the goal is to get not just a feature implemented, but also gain a new contributor. While small issues are good for new contributors, this point is about helping contributors gain confidence and reach your level. Sure, I could implement something myself, but there is only so much of me to go around, and I'd rather gain a new collaborator in the process. In 2.0, we've ramped up many new contributors into subject-matter experts within the project, strengthening our ability to maintain the project in the future."
