Documentation developers are also developers, but they do not need to be an |
13 |
ebuild-developer. If I look at the GDP current staffing, there are 8 |
14 |
developers that are also ebuild developers (or infrastructure or another |
15 |
function within Gentoo) and 11 developers on the documentation (and |
16 |
translations) only. |

Requiring documentation developers to also take the ebuild and end quiz |
19 |
would be overshooting, as that is not something they require. |
