Benjamin, I agree it's a sort of busy-work, but I'm sure it will happen faster than adding a feature into Mozillians.
I don't think we should be worried about initial seeding being slow. Slow is good, it lets us see if our plan had blind spots. Things take a LOT more time to get into motion than it seems. Think about how long we've been talking about giving out email addresses to community. If doing it right means it'll take another 6 months before it's properly seeded and accounts are getting into people's hands I think that's a much better outcome than doing it quick and dirty and it being a failure. Case in point, Mozillians was supposed to have this trust structure and it was too easy to establish trust (one vouch, you can vouch right away). Now we have to reinvent the wheel. Not necessarily a bad thing, I think it's ok that Mozillians has turned out this way, but I don't think that was the original intent.
