I personally wouldn't mind having a few more people interested in
helping out a bit with bo-unstable.  And, if someone is a qualified,
quiet worker, who knows more or less what is going on, I think the
addition would help.  Of course, with the short term exception of
bo-unstable, it will be necessary to follow the 'real' unstable.  Do
you think you might be able to do that after 2.0 is out?  If not, it
might be difficult to accomplish much..  If so, doing a few packages
for bo-unstable might be a good way to get experience.

Just my thoughts,
