Random thought: We could put a pretty ajaxy signup thing on
start.fedoraproject.org that keeps them logged in via community.

I'm thinking of something similar to how google.com works now.  With no
login you get the generic pageg.  With a login you might get a more
feature rich "targeting contributors" page.  If they've gone far enough to
do the ajax sign up, we can try to consider them a potential contributor.
