While I certainly agree that such a status bit is useful, there is perhaps 
some more stuff that could be added. To be more exact, it might be useful to 
have, say, a person who is willing to mentor someone interested in general 
ebuilds/media-related stuff/fonts/X11. In this way, it is more obvious who to 
contact other than a list of developers marked as 'available'.

Thanks,
