I was interested in becoming a dev for a little while, but the testing and what looks to be prolonged process kinda put me off of the idea. It just seems like a lot of bureaucratic work. Perhaps my impression is wrong, though... Which projects are most in need of developers or maintainers? I wouldn't mind learning a bit more about package maintenance, portage, and ebuilds...
