New comer point of view : I would have found this rather normal that a
returning dev would bypass my application as he should consume less time
in the recruitment process and be more quickly operational than me once
he's been integrated back. From what I've seen so far, there's not so
many of them anyway so this shouldn't change much the wait.

In my point of view there is no drawback to getting willing and capable
devs back home so they can help asap. It would be a good process to
preserve an overall efficiency of both the Gentoo recruitment and
development.
