Actually, I think we should consider serious limits to any such proposal,
such as (as Gilles suggested) working only with reputable employees (or
ex-employees, like Aaron Arcos) of reputable companies. Otherwise I
suspect "any developer" will game the system for their own benefit, for
example to get free training or to pad their resume.
I would ordinarily be vary wary about limiting or restricting who we
collaborate with, but given that our code base is open source and we
welcome patches from everyone, making such a limitation seems workable for
the very practical purpose of making sure the relationships are as
productive as possible.
Thanks,
