I thought about the same thing at first. A more careful look at the
URL shows that this is not the case:


https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Gentoo/Staffing_Needs/ProxyMaintain
er

The {{Staffing Need}} macro page lives under "Gentoo" in project
namespace, not under "Proxy Maintainers". As a matter of fact, the
link has a typo where it's missing an 's' at the end.

I'd like to bring it to attention that there had been no activity on
the page in a week. We should at least clear some obvious ones like this
:

- --
GMN Editor/Author
We are looking for developers or users interested in helping us out
with the Gentoo Monthly Newsletters.
- --

This isn't even an official GMN project at the moment, there is no
information who is in charge and it's misleading people.

I'll try to contact individual projects as much as I can.
