I volunteer and know 2 other guys who could help (we were actually planning of
doing something like this before we realized fedora legacy was there). Each of
us need this for maintaining numerous decentralized deployments of Red Hat
Linux, where frequent upgrades or migrations are out of question (noone would
pay for them), and all of us have practical experience building own rpm
packages, and have our own machines to test it.

I wouldn't worry about developer availability, but as one of the previous
posters mentioned, about RH not being happy with this competing with Red Hat
Enterprise Linux.

Where do I apply, is some formal application necessary?
