Ensure Gentoo is a distro taken serious, which is a multi-step matter;
(i) by having a good reputation for good technical solutions of (a) the
distro itself; and (b) amongst upstream developers by ensuring patches
etc are contributed; and (ii) a professional behavior so it is taken
serious by others; and (iii) it is definitely needed to become more
active at (a) various conferences, both with stands to promote gentoo,
(b) but also participations in various LUGs and other venues.

It is definitely not difficult to become a developer if you're
devoted/interested in doing so, if anything it is a bit too low, but
that can be a good thing if balanced with proper mentoring to bring
people in.

Depends on type of package, for core packages, unless the proxied
maintainer are also upstream developers etc we likely want to maintian
control within gentoo developers.
