I'll freely admit that I'm not hugely familiar with workflows etc. My main
motivation for wanting to become a core-dev is to be able to directly fix
bugs that we encounter. My immediate priority is fixing small issues in
Hardy in the various point releases, within the constraints of the SRU
process.

If the general consensus is there is a preference for me to become a MOTU
first, then graduate to core-dev, that's fine, just let me know what the
desired course of action is. Alternatively, if you just want to see more
sponsorship runs on the board, let me know. I'd just heard that for DDs, it
was possible to go straight to core-dev, so I thought I'd test that
hypothesis.
