Whatever really works :)
It does look like the NM queue tbh which obviously already manages a
good data size.
I don't know how much work that takes or how well automated it is
e.g.. have person x who wants to help, possibly on (a) particular
package(s) or any package in a particular activity (e.g. music, LaTeX
) or using particular languages, is known to A,B,C, has skills L,K,M,
has certain required/desired skills
how well is that info matched up to packages or activities
needed particular skill sets ...
and the people who are prepared to mentor them
I have no idea how previous and existing processes manage this problem.
The main aim should be to make sure that packages needing help get
packaged? So if you are willing to help you might not go directly
where you have a full skill set or interest but you'll get some
experience like packaging, teamwork etc.
