I dont want it to seem like im a troll, cause i know the Infrastructure is
busy as heck you have lot of things to worry about. Just make it more clear
for the new contributor that comes along. Yes i know myself i came in
thinking i can do it all. then i figured out its best to work slowly then
build up. Thats why since you will make it inivite only, for sure there need
to be a mentor along with this new contributor to work closely with him. For
example doing some small tasks like documentation, wiki, content, for the
Infrastructure team that is some menial basic things. As they say you have
to learn how to follow before you can lead.
