maybe he more means having a "working relationship" with people rather than sending them to attach patches to bugzilla. make it more personal than clinical circumventing the requirement for an AT position, a casual "i give you patches as i come across problems on my box, can you take care of them" relationship for people who can and will contribute occasionally, w/o the time to take on a dev position w/o commit access (aka Arch Tester) like the people you hang out with on irc even, the ones that help other users, or the kind you see active on forums, take their occational patch/ebuild like less red tape, more acceptance of the occasional contribution how about that as "proxy"?
