I have to disagree here. IMO, this *is* the solution. |

Of course it's not easy. The hard part is volunteering your time. |

While you don't fill out an application (resume?) per se, you do attempt |
| 22 |
to show your worthiness and dedication (bugzilla is usually a good way). |

If you continually produce good patches/fixes, you *will* be noticed |
| 24 |
and may eventually be asked if you'd like to become a dev. |
