Yeah, I think that would be best this time around.  We don't seem to
have a time when the three main (active) team members are available.
Plus there are a number of other people interested in the team.  Maybe
there are a few interested in joining... 


So, here is a run down of current activity...

We have 3 active members:

Zac Medico: Been busy working on bugs as they come in.  Thanks Zac

Brian Dolbec: Patch review, Doing releases, working on repoman re-write,
              stage 1 of the rewrite has now been released with only a
              few bugs reported against it :)   I also need to get some
              work done on the gkeys integration.

Alexander Bernsten: Mostly been helping review (Zac's) patches.

Ulrich Mueller: PMS liason, submits some patches occasionally

Mike Frysinger: Works on some bugs, mostly maintains Sandbox.

Jesus Rivero: on dev away, hardware failures.

Pavel Kazakov: on dev way, Real life.

Alec Warner: on dev away (long term)

Arfrever Frehtes: helps on irc, no patches submitted yet in 2015

Fabian Groffen: prefix portage: status unknown

Thomas Sachau: multilib portage: status unknown, project seems to have
                                 been replaced by multilib eclasses.

Paul Varner: Tools-portage lead: Limited availability due to health,
             He could definitely use more help. 

    I haven't enough time to work on gentoolkit, but
    can help guide anyone interested in working on gentoolkit, and help
    get another release out with some improvements, bugfixes.


So, why don't we set Sat. Oct. 3 as the deadline for nominations and
acceptance, and new (voting) members to join the team. (I'm don't know
what the rules state about that)

And make Sat. Oct. 10 as the final date for voting.
