No, don't worry ;-)

We'll correct mistakes, if we see them, but you're most invited to do
that too.  `Interesting' changelog entries may trigger to take a look
at a change.

Yes, there is always a risk that a change is not an improvement.  But
if you do not [try to] correct it, there is the certainty that lily
will not get better.

If you're not entirely sure the fix is correct, you insert a @c FIXME:
xxx comment.

If you're almost sure the fix is incorrect, feel free to mail the
output of cvs diff to the -devel list before committing.

This is what I do, with hanwen as my -devel list.  We'll want to
substitute -devel with -hackers, once it's up.

Besides, just doing it is the best way to learn about Lily.
