I have noticed that the numbers assigned to each of my new bug reports has been advancing at such a high rate over time, that I am given to wonder if the developers can keep up. My ebuilds especially have seemed to languish lately. How are you guys doing? Do you have any areas that you would like us to focus on? (eg. QA) I could squeeze out ebuilds regularly, but I tend to wait on those in the pipeline. I havent checked, but is gentoo-core still closed? Could it be read-only, maybe only in digest form? The more I know about where this project is going, the more motivated I am to help, rather than say, sitting back on my haunches and waiting. (something I have been unable to do so far:) I am not suggesting make gentoo democratic, just take advantage of those who are not part of the core team better, by giving more guidance.
