Or maybe they are qualified, but don't have time to take it on |

full time and could throw their effort into ocaisional short term |

projects. |

Sounds like a great idea to me. I would point to the kernel-janitor |
| 18 |
project as an additional example of the sort of thing this could |
| 19 |
do. We don't have as much cleanup right now, but I'm sure there |
| 20 |
are points where there are time consuming but simple/repetitive |
| 21 |
tasks that could be offloaded to non-core members. |
