As almost any FOSS project Gentoo suffers from lack of manpower in
various areas. While there are technical ways to amend this like
automation improvements I'd like to focus on bringing new people.
Life changes, some developers eventually quit; number of packages
is growing (not only in Gentoo, but world-wide), their complexity
grows. All this requires new developers.
How do you propose to bring new people to our team? What as the
Council member you can do?
What do you think on current entrance threshold?
What about contributions by non-developers? Should we focus on e.g.
encouraging proxied maintainers to become developers or should we
grow out of the tree contributions without git tree access?
Best regards,
Andrew Savchenko
