I think that'd be a great idea. If each developer could state where |
| 14 |
their interests/expertise laid and what type of dev they'd be interested |
| 15 |
in mentoring, that could make the selection process more natural for |
| 16 |
both prospective devs and established devs. |

The problem I have is I don't know what I'd want to work on. I love vim, |
| 19 |
tmux, and fluxbox, but I believe they already have capable maintainers. |

I'm learning C and Python, and know PHP, so there's probably a bit I |
| 21 |
could learn about C and Python. And my competency in PHP may qualify me |
| 22 |
for some packages. Which ones, I don't know. |

Overall I just can't think of a reason for Gentoo to take me. |
