That's how I became a dev recently =3D) And I we have another batch of solid contributors going thru recruitment an= d=20 doing quizzes right now, most started as github<->proxy-maint collaborators. Canonical (bugzilla) way of contributing ebuilds works as well, but is clun= ky=20 and less visible, and some contributions are ignored for years and years. proxy-maint team is pretty strict, but friendly and it usually takes not mo= re=20 than a week to get a new ebuild accepted given it's decent quality but need= s=20 some polish. Sometimes it takes longer, but hey. Simple or important bumps can be merged within hours, especially if the=20 contributor is on IRC and knows when and how to ping the right people. Even if people contribute to non-proxied ebuilds, members of proxy-maint kn= ow=20 how to communicate it to the right people who are less exposed to github an= d=20 the contributions are not ignored and get acknowledged and merged. Also, contributors learn A LOT while following the review process, both=20 technical and political details of gentoo. This is a really good way of attracting and educating `fresh blood`.
