And who do you think will test your dev then ?
Testing very quickly involves development because you will notice bugs first, then missing chunks of code to handle special conditions, and by this time you will feel much better with kernel internals and will have no problem starting on more complex tasks.
Also, we're wondering what motivates newcomers to directly dive into development instead of testing. Would you please explain a bit about your motivations ? It would help distribute more interesting work to newcomers, or maybe assign them more credits if it is what they are seeking.
