HEP?
It's not obvious to me that, should I be looking for someone to work on my CentOS project that I should restrict myself to people who are already involved in CentOS. Generally, I would think, people experienced in RHEL or SL would serve as well, and those familiar with other distros (Debian, SUSE) might bring fresh ideas.
I like the Shuttles technique - go on a holiday. Take archives of mailing lists. Evaluate peoples' skills, attitudes (eg how they deal with others)and ethics. Then, issue invitations.
