Be sure you stay within the confines of the recruitment guidelines.
You've broken this one before, so I just want to point it out to you
again.

Specifically, the last sentence of the second section...

"In addition, your project lead must be CC'd and must approve the bug
when it's filed to confirm that the project is accepting new
developers."

Example:

Now, it happens that having Tupone on the team is a welcome (and
invaluable) addition to games, but we weren't ever really asked whether
we were recruiting.  Nobody said anything, because we had already been
discussing internally on recruiting him, which you would have known were
you a member of the team at that time.  Anyway, I'm just reminding you
to make sure that the team wants/needs help before you go recruiting
people for a team you're not even a member.  It'll make things much
smoother and you'll get much less resistance.
