For those who would like to join: as I said, I won't be much available
until early November, but some other devs might.

You also might want to see if you would like simply commit access to the
science overlay, to maintain a few packages.

Meanwhile here are some pointers and tips to get you started:
- get full knowledge of gentoo docs, handbooks [1] and projects
- try to help bugs and problems [2]
- lurk in gentoo-science, gentoo-dev lists archives [3]
- learn the developer handbook [4] and manual [5] developers
- lurk or participate in irc channels #gentoo-science, #gentoo-dev,
#gentoo-dev-help

As far as scientific packages are concerned, we putting more and more
emphasis on tests. Providing ways to test packages, by a src_test
function or some kind of test recipe is important. Scientists like to
get right results (well as much as the software can give)!
