That's not true.
We've discussed this idea several times and, when people are told that
they need to show there's a group of contributors to this project before
infrastructure is dedicated to it, they don't fork the updates, they
start whining and making up a whole bunch of excuses to justify not
doing the work.
We are turning in circles - It's a hen and egg problem.
FESCo brushes off volunteers, the @RHs (here A.C) gun-down any
volunteers, ... what do you expect prospective volunteers to think?
Patrice already turned away from Fedora, I for one have significantly
cut down my involvement into Fedora and am considering to further cut it
down.
