You're still not looking at it the right way.  The way you've worded it it
sounds like you're end goal is to be in a sysadmin-* group.  You're end
goal should be finding some work to do then finding someone willing to
sponsor you to do that work.

I dont want it to seem like im a troll, cause i know the Infrastructure is busy as heck you have lot of things to worry about. Just make it more clear for the new contributor that comes along. Yes i know myself i came in thinking i can do it all. then i figured out its best to work slowly then build up. Thats why since you will make it inivite only, for sure there need to be a mentor along with this new contributor to work closely with him. For example doing some small tasks like documentation, wiki, content, for the Infrastructure team that is some menial basic things. As they say you have to learn how to follow before you can lead.
