Both Debian and Ubuntu have excellent online archives of email threads
and IRC discussions.  Reading these is a very good method for working
out who the *dedicated and willing* contributors are.

In fact, those public archives from Debian were so useful that they
were the initial filtering approach used by Mark Shuttleworth before
making contact with Debian developers who would go on to form the
original Ubuntu platform team in 2004.  You can read about in an
interview with Jeff Waugh from 2007 (it involves a Russian ice-breaker
in Antarctica!) :

Coming back to April 2011 and looking at the discussion at the CC;

...perhaps I missed your IRC nickname in the logs.  Was there a point
that you raised during the meeting which you feel may have been
missed?
