It's hardly just "the admins" talking about features. There's only about 2 active admins on this site at the moment, and the only "admin" work we do is to knock the occasional troll off their bridge. The biggest contributions towards the Upcoming Features, Internal Formulas, and the whole wiki, have been done by non-admins, just everyday contributors, like yourself, sharing information and ideas.

Your idea is a good one, except that to open up a zip file and look at plain-text config files and plain-png image files is as simple as opening up an email and reading a message with a picture in it. It has nothing to do with changing an image and reinserting it into the game code that the program actually runs from, making checksums match, takes much more extensive hacking, equivalent to faking an email from a legitimate source to someone else and making them see in the email header code the sender is legit and not falsified from you.

ie. It's a whole different ballgame to change the game code compared to simply observing it.

Actually, a better analogy might be: a TV show - we can see the images broadcast from TV shows, even record them, and share them on torrent sites, even modify them, such as bad cams of new releases, but it's a whole different ballgame to modify a recorded TV show and them try and retransmit that back over the airwaves. It's a one-way viewing of the information.
