In the old days this would have happened by a process known in the

similar effect in today's distributed development environment is less
obvious.
Could we talk about this at PyCon (as well as continuing this thread
to
some sort of conclusion)? While the sprints are great for those who
are
already involved some activity specifically targeted at new developers
would be a welcome addition, and might even help recruit them.
I think this is a great idea. I would like to see a more formal
mentoring process. As a community I think we need a constant source
of fresh blood, and mentoring is a great way to shepherd those new
recruits to full commit privileges.
