How many non-developers contribute to the tree? How many non-developers
have submitted patches for Portage or eselect?
It's one thing to make a contribution or submit a patch - it's quite
another to be actively and very significantly involved in a key
technical project that is supposedly defining an interoperability spec
for the key distinguishing feature of Gentoo, namely Portage.
Right now, you're effectively doing an end-run around the entire
Gentoo management structure. Fortunately for you, it doesn't look like
anyone cares.
Really, I find this weird and ambiguous and you should probably be
reinstated as a dev or be bumped off of PMS, which should be managed
by Gentoo developers only.
Again, so far as I'm aware, the only non-tree copyright assignment that
was a requirement was for developers who signed the long-abolished
hideous legal document. If there are requirements to the contrary that
I've missed then I'd like to see them -- as the main copyright holder
for at least one official Gentoo project, this is something that is
extremely relevant to me.
I'm also very interested to find out about this. I would be
disappointed to find that the Foundation has chosen to not fulfill or
neglect one of the key purposes for which it was created.
