Thanks John I'm afraid very few people at the moment have an intimate understanding of the s3cmd codebase. Guess what - I no longer remember every detail of every module either. And it's not really required - if you know python and can tell a bad code from a good code you are able to review most patches. I'm happy to help reviewing complex or tricky ones but honestly these don't come along very often - one recent major change was multipart upload and even that was in the end implemented in quite a non-intrusive way. The role is also about user interaction - I haven't been active on the mailing list for a while and that's a shame. It doesn't shed a good light onto the project. I really appreciate the community is doing a very good job here though! Also we've got s3tools-bugs list where people send their bugreports - and they actually do! That should be monitored from time to time to identify any commonly encountered problems and work on them. Don't be afraid about the unfamiliarity of the codebase. Once you start integrating patches you'll get more and more familiar with different areas of the program, you will see how things fit together and what needs to be worked on. And best of all - I'll send the successful applicant a postcard :) So? Who's up? John? Someone else?
