We already have LDAP entries for retired developers, why not have LDAP entries for people working with teams, but no yet recruited in the canonical sense?
Might this blur the line between "official" and "unofficial" team members? Perhaps, but they are already doing the work and already being treated as team members by their respective teams without having been formally recruited so that line is blurred already Another option would be having entries for the teams as a whole, having a multiple value field for members of that team possibly just "unofficial" members. Though there are some fairly obvious ways that could get messy as well.
