I'd also like to expand on this a little further to point out that we have recently enacted a policy to help track/list what a given contributor actually contributes to through the use of bugs[0,1] which could be beneficial to someone's application to the recruiters. Note that this isn't intended as a replacement for the recruitment process. <plug> That being said, there are still a lot of bugs and PR's to be done, so we would welcome any new members wishing to help facilitate user contributions! </plug> [0] https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Proxy_Maintainers/Managing_Requests [1] https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Proxy_Maintainers/Maintainer_Bugs_and_Maintainership_Requests Cheers; -- Sam Jorna (wraeth) <wra...@gentoo.org> GnuPG Key: D6180C26
