That's true.

Maybe it looks like CCL is a "private club" where outsiders aren't welcome.  I hope that's not the case.

Users sometimes do send patches (thanks, users!), and I hope that we're reasonably good about applying them.  We also can provide write access to the svn repository (http://trac.clozure.com/ccl/wiki/WriteAccess).

Writing Trac tickets for bugs or enhancements is contributing, too.
