Certainly.

Can you point out the relevant code?

Mediocre. I/we haven't been very proactive about telling people how
they can help. Brian Heung, one of our interns, recently moved our
horriblly out of date "tech challenges" to
http://wiki.creativecommons.org/wiki/TechChallenges suggestions or
better yet direct edits welcome.
It should be easier for outside developers to contribute at least to CC
Publisher in the next couple months -- see
http://wiki.creativecommons.org/wiki/CcPublisher#ccPublisher_2 for some
beginning documentation of its extensibility from Nathan.
Also, there's a separate cctools-developer list that might be more
appropriate for code discussions.
