it is not exactly news-worthy - it is the generally understood norm, that most projects need help and accept help, from anyone who offers it - the scarce resource, is those who will offer to help any project, who are not already helping other projects - i think that libre-minded folks tend to spread their volunteer time thinly
a community and/or bug triage team(s) would be excellent - they have both been discussed - one result was creation the forum, under the watch of the 'community' team - the forum was not intended for the devs (the 'hackers' team) a non-technical community team could moderate the forum, escalate important issues to bug reports, and could search for and recruit contributors and/or bug triage team members if needed - a moderately tech-savvy bug triage team could mediate with the dev team, and on-board new contributors - it could work quite nicely, and could save much of the dev team's time, if enough people volunteer two people have joined the community team for those reasons; but neither participate much - there just needs to be more people helping libre software projects, in general _______________________________________________ Dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.parabola.nu/mailman/listinfo/dev
