I would like both. Automation is a good thing, but we need new people
also.

In my opinion, this falls on all of us. I think we need to work on
making the community more welcoming, and that will take effort by everyone.

Since I don't know what the entrance threshold for other distros is
like, I don't feel really prepared to comment on ours.
I do know we have people who are proxiied maintainers and who chose to stay
proxied. I'll comment more on this below.

Yes, I would like to see the distro focus on bringing in more
developers. Proxy-maint is a good thing, but I would rather see
proxy-maint set up as a way to move people toward being developers.
