[gentoo-dev] Seeking the missing dates that past and present developers joined Gentoo.

[Robin H. Johnson]

I've been working on getting together the tree-signing work, as a set of
GLEPs, and as part of doing so, I've been digging into all of the
archives I can find, and seeing just how many times the same good and
bad ideas have been brought up. The earliest mention of Manifest signing
is May 2002 so far, but the archives are missing earlier than mid-March
2002.

I'm hoping to get these GLEPs completed and onto the table soon,
hopefully in time for the November council meeting, but there's still a
lot of work to do. For those concerned, I AM going to address all past
negative arguments, and I've broken the matter of signing down into a
few separate parts, with separate implementation timelines.

However, that's not the purpose of this email...

While I'm at it, I've been noticing a lot of the new-developer notices
never got their data fully added to userinfo.xml, and I've been trying
to remedy that - I added ~100 joined dates thus far, however the
archives (esp. for -core) that I have access to are not complete, and
don't go back nearly as far as the depths of Gentoo history, so I'd like
to appeal to everybody else out here, esp. former developers that might
still be lurking.

If your handle is on the following list, please send me a private email
(do not reply on the list), stating when you joined Gentoo, and if it
isn't stored already, your location. I see some active developers on
there too, so they should note when they joined Gentoo. Also, if you
happen to keep in touch with some of the folk here that are past
developers, I'd love to hear from them as well (maybe we should take a
yearly census of Gentoo developers...):
