I didn't describe in that way. In fact, it *isn't* that. It's a mailing

It's an open source project. There are a lot of ways to be involved.

system-wide features from a server perspective is one way. Or simply
doing QA in general. You could also help develop server roles matching

Well, not if you get involved early. That's the point.
If you don't *want* to, that's fine, but there's only so much complainy
