I can't think of any reason that the Foundation would have anything to do with who can and cannot participate in anything related to Gentoo. Gentoo projects have involved non-developers from time to time. The documentation project even gives commit access to non-developers, and arch testers have elevated privileges in bugzilla. The way our current portage tree is set up basically forces us into an all-or-nothing security model for commit access - we don't have layers of integration testing to protect users from errors or abuses. Proxy maintainership is one way around this. I think there are many here who would love to see more non-developer contribution. Suggestions are always welcome, and those willing to put in effort to make the suggestions happen are probably even more welcome. Moving to git certainly won't hurt, but that won't automatically change anything either. Rich
