Yes, it's nice to see how many people actually read this request *shrug* |

I still don't like the idea that each Gentoo dev is a Foundation member. The |
15 |
1 year period allows developers to integrate in the project, find out how |
16 |
the various projects interact, where the bottlenecks are, etc. |

People who are just brought on board for, lets say, managing sys-foo/bar, |
19 |
might not know how much efforts porting takes, or how documentation works. |

There is no way to be sure they know this after a year, but then they have |
21 |
had all the opportunities to get to know them (which isn't entirely possible |
22 |
if you're no Gentoo developer). |

I do agree on the explicit request to vote (voting members). |
