Just because someone isn't a coder, doesn't mean their suggestions are 
any less welcome, surely?

The more suggestions the better, especially when they promote the 'it 
already does' kind of responses. No point a product having a cool 
feature if nobody knows it's there, right?

The whole "if you want it to do that, then go code it yourself" attitude 
if the only real downer I see when dealing with OSS projects.

Coding is only one way of contributing.
