Not that I'm against this proposal necessarily, but it seems like this is everything short of giving them commit access to the tree. Perhaps the "arch tester" job could simply be made as a probationary period for developer recruits. The good ATs typically go on to be developers anyway, no? T

The problem is, trying to fix ebuilds in tree is a lot more complicated..

I think you need to rethink that. Notifying a maintainer that there is an update or new add on to an existing project is not really getting involved. It's HELPING. I realize that maintainers cannot stay on top of all 120,000 packages. That's where the everyday users come in. They, selfishly, monit
