I started using Clojure just after 1.3 came out so I could be wrong, but my impression was that while contrib was all in one place, it was still maintained by a bunch of random people who got their code into contrib, rather than being treated as a core part of the language the way (I believe) Golang's is.

Yes it was, like I said it is better now. However it was also kind of nice because everything was just there. Even with good mantainers, some of the same problems could keep existing.

That's right. contrib was always the red-headed stepchild to core.
