Ah, you are right to put this proposition forward, but I have also the right
to put mine :)
It is not meant in general terms, it is about investing the most precious we
have in a meaningful way.
There are people who have gone this way (debian/mobile) already and gained
some experience. There are few projects that need some support if someone
wants to spend some time I would recommend joining those projects.

I am sorry if my language sound that imperative - I meant it as an advise.
And please note I said "I admire people that have time to waste". 
Note "admire" and "people that have time to waste" is totally neutral - he
has time to waste - I don't mind, I just admire this person, because my
time is limited. I do not understand how you can conclude that I pretend to
have rights on his time - he can waste it or not - the point is the
outcome.
He'll go in a dead end, would you let this person spent hours for nothing.
Better join some community that is already working on this.
