This is incorrect. The full implication here is that only devs can contribute significantly to Gentoo - which would be a big backwards step, and something we have gone through a fair amount of heart-ache to avoid. We have evolved various ways in which users can contribute valuable work; not just by posting into bugzilla (which was the only mechanism available when I joined, shortly after you left I think) but also working alongside "proxy devs", or working in with devs in overlays, working as Arch Testers and so on. Personally I work with several people who are not Gentoo devs, but are _critically_ important to the work that I do for Gentoo. After all, although we call ourselves developers, really we're integrators. Today, being a dev (which essentially means having commit access to Gentoo repositories) is mostly about taking responsibility for what is finally committed. -- Kevin F. Quinn
