It might be useful for projects who *need* help to let that be known in some easy-to-find way. Some projects are well staffed, some are understaffed. If you are involved with several of the project mailing lists it becomes more clear, but if you are say, a company who wants to contribute effort and talent it might be tough to figure out which projects need manpower.

While no project is going to be accepted into Jakarta without a development community around it, there are always places that need more help than others.

Just my 2 cents.

 Obviously, that is something that Collabra would have very little
control over.


If you have someone with talent and a decent amount of time to spend, my experience is that they can
become a committer pretty quickly. If they are providing quality mentoring and patches, it quickly
becomes easier to vote them in as a committer than to manually apply their patches. So if your
primary goal is to establish Collabra's rep and your incidental goal is to be listed on the vendors
page, start now and see results soon.
