Hi, I don't speak for gnu but one thing that comes to mind is that there is less code in general in the operating system because it's a microkernel model, so even drivers for hardware are not part of the core and run in userspace.
I am also guilty of not adding enough documentation for the features I am adding. We do need more developers and also to lower the bar for new contributions, documentation is key I think. In terms of code readability, having a strict coding style helps I think but some people think the gnu C coding style is very different and difficult to get used to, personally I have grown to like it.
