That presupposes that all LDAP entries must be for current developers, |
| 15 |
that is already not the case. We already have LDAP entries for retired |
| 16 |
developers, why not have LDAP entries for people working with teams, but |
| 17 |
no yet recruited in the canonical sense? |

Might this blur the line between "official" and "unofficial" team |
| 20 |
members? Perhaps, but they are already doing the work and already being |
| 21 |
treated as team members by their respective teams without having been |
| 22 |
formally recruited so that line is blurred already |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
Another option would be having entries for the teams as a whole, having |
| 25 |
a multiple value field for members of that team possibly just |
| 26 |
"unofficial" members. Though there are some fairly obvious ways that |
| 27 |
could get messy as well. |
