Mike,

Does this dovetail with the "promotion paths" we talked about for some
of the more critical groups?  Getting invited in, being mentored for a
while and then a combination of the mentee wanting to move up and the
mentor sponsoring them for a group like -main or -dba.  

So a new user has to show some interest and initiative in the list and
IRC to get an invite to the main group.  And the same to move up to some
of the higher responsibility groups.  It makes sense to judge skill and
availability, IMHO.  

Course, we run the risk of sounding like Masons ... "The Supreme Council
of the Infrastructures General of the Project Fedora of the
Twenty-second degree of the Ancient and Accepted Linux Distributions" ;)
