Very easy. People do things. Not people try to force other people to do
things, or try to extort other people to do things (if you do this, I might
help out, or many other people will come).

Don't blame the tools, don't blame core, don't blame the weather, just
start.

That is also what is wrong in these threads. All these threads about what is
wrong with the docs have combined hundred times more lines then were
contributed externally (by non core committers) to the docs.
