What are the biggest barriers to walking the MOTU/developer path?
- by maco
For those who are not MOTU (people who maintain the Universe and Multiverse software repositories) and do not have plans of the "I will apply to MOTU by $date" variety:
What keeps you and others like you from trying to become MOTU? What makes you think you couldn't become one?
I'm referring to both social and technological barriers.
EDIT:
I'm only saying MOTU because it's a pretty generic group, but "why aren't you packaging / patching and intending to eventually try for upload rights?" is an even more general version.
