I like this idea. 

Some jobs I can think of off hand: 

- Investigate fixing broken deps in packages in stable releases. 
	This would include: Looking at the reason it's broken,
	contacting maintainer and educating them, working on fixes. 

- Investigate broken deps in rawhide (ditto above). 

- Targeted packaging fixes. Ie, compile a list of packages that are
  breaking a specific issue, contact maintainers to fix their packages,
  followup and cleanup the ones that don't get fixed by a time. 

- Help watch/gather info about updates and report back to fesco and/or
  educate maintainers to our update guidelines. 

- Gather info on Broken N-V-R upgrade paths and report back, come up
  with ways to automate report and/or educate maintainers about it. 

- Investigate current fedora installs on netbooks and report back the
  experence and what we can do to improve it. 

- Find VPS services that offer fedora instances and offer to help them
  provide current ones instead of end of life ones. 

- Triage package reviews (especially ones that are needsponsor).
  Confirm the submittor still exists and ask them to do pre-reviews or
  submit more than one package. 

I would image fesco could ask some people do these kinds of things and
then get a weekly report on it at the meeting. If the person ran out of
time or needs more help, more or less resources could be allocated. 

So, just a off the cuff thought I think it could be usefull or worth
trying.
