Idea ---- Introduce team for 'ports', 'infrastructure' (website, mailing lists, crux.nu, all the cronjobs) and 'core development' (utilitites, setup, releases), with a leader each (this means that if there's a problem, there's a defined person to talk to) and clearly assigned tasks and responsibilities.
These teams could also recruit independently, so we can fetch someone into the infrastructure team even if he can't create ports, as long as he's fit for the job. Sounds like a good idea. In fact I have nearly the same opinion about responsibilities but I have to admit that I am no exception her. The job of the maintainer for the portdb was assigned to myself (on my wish) but I haven't managed to get involved in it yet.
Procedure --------- If this proposal is accepted, I'd suggest to define the responsibilities of the teams, and look for team leaders. Of course I like this proposal and therefore accept it.
I myself could imagine to work/be in the ports team. Working as the maintainer for the portdb or testing/verifying ports would be fine. Regards Viper
