-dev is not closed to general public, but the posting is restricted to
users having someone watching them similar to other aspects of gentoo
infrastructure, including, but not limited to , editbugs in b.g.o

If you read the previous council decisions and rationale for split of
-dev vs -project restricting posting access to non-devs was already part
of the intention, so the current implementation is already more lenient
than that.

It is a distribution for power-users, and we should focus on flexibility
and performance in addition to providing a stable runtime and upgrade path.
