I'm pretty sure no-one is being disqualified base solely on the fact 
that they're from a certain project. Trust is earnt over time from 
submitting many good patches and people like Eric Kohl and Thomas 
Weidenmüller have done so and had them committed. Adding test cases 
helps, and if the function is undocumented then an explanation as to why 
it's required if it's not obvious also helps build that trust.
