This was THE major contribution of the "Open Source" movement to FLOSS dev practices: the open Bazaar vs. the Cathedral. FSF was Cathedral-like (shaped by the model of academia) and really struggled to adopt the more effective and more open dev methodologies that were first demonstrated by e.g. Linux and other net-driven projects - it's why the Hurd kernel is still not out today, after 30 years or so of development effort.
Teaching newbies how to "fish" in the OSS community is also something that saw a lot of focus as soon as the issue became clear in the 1990s, as the microcomputer community started getting internet links and interacting with the pre-existing free-software and hacker communities. We see a summary of this viewpoint e.g. in ESR's "Hacker-HOWTO" http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/hacker-howto.html
