IMHO likely off topic for -dev and proper place would be -project as it is not 
technical in nature.

That can be said for many things... WAY to many things...

So many projects, so much bureaucracy, many on multiple projects/teams wearing 
multiple hats. How do they have time for them all? IMHO it is better to find 
someone else to be part of another team, than to wear multiple hats. In most 
organizations you get 1 title, belong to 1 team, or department.

I have a feeling Gentoo has more projects than developers or staff.

Focus needs to be on increasing numbers, not putting out staffing needs which 
likely will not be filled. Along those lines would be interesting to see how 
many staffing needs were met via putting out some sort of staffing needs 
information.

People need a reason over all to contribute to and join Gentoo. Putting out 
staffing needs does little to motivate anyone to get involved.
