Write great code = self promotion. I'm not sure we should waste time on that
too much unless someone wants to "own" that.

In the past I've been working to have a Chromium GSoC instead, without much
luck though. Buildbot isn't a really sexy project (let alone printing
support in Chromium, eh). I've never seen anyone act as a buildbot GSoC
mentor, that's a shame. You'd get as much for mentoring as the prize in the
ad below! :D


 * Development Policies

>   - dependency version requirements
>  * Releases
>   - release pace
>   - support calendar for old versions
>   - release process (rc's? betas?)
>   - downstream communication (e.g., linux distros, macports, opencsw)
>  * Licensing
>   - can we put new components under less restrictive licenses?
>  * Brand upgrade
>   - boilerplate "about Buildbot" needs work
>   - consistent web design for all buildbot pages
>

* Out of process status serving
  - statusdb
  - statuspush

* Reduce work overhead?
  - It's more a question to Dustin, probably not worth discussing there,
about how much time managing the server takes you.
