=46ull ack to that, that's what things look like for me. I admit that I'm n=

As Jukka expresses it, maybe that is just perceived but that doesn't make i=

less real.

=46or me personally, I'd like to see something like a ToDo or AdoptAnEbuild=

somewhere, perhaps sorted by complexity, so that people that are interested=

can more easily try their hands on it. Just pointing people to bugs.g.o fee=

a little bit like Augeias' stable cleaning with no idea where to begin.
Moreover I guess there are plenty of things that do not have a bug report=20
attached to them - stuff like hunting down the changed dependencies of a ne=

software release or testing the stability of a simple version bump and thin=

the like.
That might create a bit more overhead for 'real' developers but it might al=
so=20
lower the treshhold for new people.
Just my two cents.
Cheers
