Does it have to be related to the Fedora 21 release? I would like to
spend some time towards fixing certain things around Fedora Badges [1]
and Fedora NOC but that won't count as a part of Fedora release. There
may be others who may want to involve themselves into non-release
things. However I strongly agree that it is a FAD and we should focus
on getting things done.
