It's not like I intend to do it right away, since my contribution
currently isn't a big thing (just a few translations), but the original
intent is *IF* a potential employer would want to do a background check
on a user (in my country this is common) it'd be nice to have someone
who could back the info up.
Y'all have a nice evening!

You are free to add your contribution to the project, but I don't see
the point of "officially" vouching as we are not technically a
corporation or anything, we are all contributors here.
Personally, my experience says that it's not a bad thing to include
your experience in open source projects if you believe it's something
that makes you a better candidate for an specific job. Your very own
word is most of times enough proof for your potential employers.
Cheers,
Alfredo

Hello,
I guess the page who we are is what you search
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuGNOME/GettingInvolved/WhoWeAre
you can add your name there. BUT anyone who wants to be vouched, he
can add his name there without contribute to the project. That's
something we should be aware of.
Other wiki systems have a feature where you can see the wiki
contribution by clicking on the username.
Have phun,
Stathis

Great leaders don't tell you what to do...They show you how it's done.
Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts...absolutely.
