In order to become a Gentoo developer you do need a mentor[0]. If |
| 16 |
instead you're only looking to proxy-maintain a package(s), you can work |
| 17 |
either through the Proxy Maintainers project or directly with a |
| 18 |
developer (if they're the maintainer). |

How you communicate with your mentor is up to you and your mentor. Going |
| 24 |
through the recruitment [0]process does require a review session which, |
| 25 |
as far as I know, is only held on IRC, but otherwise it's up to you to |
| 26 |
organise what medium you use. |
