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 ?
