It's very simple: start committing code, reviewing patches, making
releases, and make it visible.  I promise to give timely helpful
reviews or advice if asked.

One new community-driven release with one bug fixed will do more to
encourage others than any number of list posts.

If people want to work on Bazaar but don't want to do it within
Canonical's ballpark, they can fork it.  Given Canonical's decreased
activity recently, such a fork has a greater chance of becoming the
centre of gravity.

I get the distinct impression some people would rather pontificate
than hack, and the contributor agreement, while a valid concern, is
also an excuse.  I would be utterly delighted to be proved wrong.
(nb, verbal argument on this point would be hilarious but
self-defeating.)
