How not to become a CentOS developer is to call one out on a public mailinglist.
Well I had to write: I did not see any post a new person has joined the dev team in announce list. So pointing the team is small is unfair.
Johnny actually invited me once for the packager team. Unfortunately I had to decline, due to my unreliable time avaliability.
So I have to say that, as far as I noticed, they do keep an eye out to get new people with the necessary background (I had 3+ years experience as a packager for a Linux distribution).
The catch is that packaging for a distribution is much more complex than many people, including the ocasional packager, believe, so there aren't that many pre-qualified candidates. As for people willing to learn the job, well, in that case they have to ask, don't they ?
