The only people tinkering for hours are either having fun making customizations, or are debugging something gnarly. If you just leave your config alone, you have to do approximately zero maintenance. Maybe a version upgrade breaks a package. Maybe. Otherwise, I'm tired of this canard. Emacs doesn't make you do anything to your configuration you don't choose to do yourself.

I don't think the Emacs maintainers would want to accept contributions from people who cannot figure out email.
