Well... you want to become staff.

Nope; if you become staff then devrel/recruiters will be involved. You
are no exception to the rule.

Those people were already gentoo staff, you aren't right now, so it's
not the same situation.

People managing the forums should take the responsability to make them
take the quiz and become official. Nobody said that being 'the boss' was
going to be easy.
