And if you submit so many good patches that we get tired of committing
them, we'll ask you if you want to become a developer and maintain stuff
yourself.

LOL. That's a nice way of putting it. I can't help but compare that to
the answer in the current dev discussion. This one seems so much more...
effective/upbeat/humorous/apropos/... but about as accurate as it gets.

Yup; this is more or less how I was recruited. They got tired of having
to make so many proxy-commits for me.


"Gosh darnit, do your own work!" they said, and thwopped me with CVS access.

OK all of this is fine (wonderful). However, I'm a slave to other
responsibilities so this is all as I get time to develop some
deliverables to the gentoo community. Surely I have a few things to

learn, in a greater depth.

I'll start by enhancements to the jffnms installation doc.....

Then we'll go from there.
