After hitting confirm, i realized I wasn't clean on what "contributed" meant. There is a difference between code that is contributed to the community and code meant to be part of the "official" OpenACS packages.
Any contribution of code is greatly appreciated, and any client who allows work done for them to be added to contrib should know this. Whoever contributes the code should maintain it in whatever way the need to.
Code that someday will make it into the main OpenACS distribution has different standards.
