Want to contribute to Doctrine?

Looking for Developers
We've been on the hunt for more Doctrine contributors. As the number of users of Doctrine grew we expected the number of commiters to rise with it but this has not been the case. We do get a lot of small patches here and there, but we are hoping for some of them to grow in to full-time core developers that are involved with all the decisions made about Doctrine.
Call to the community
You can see Roman made a call to the Doctrine developers mailing list here about the issue. We are taking all the feedback in to consideration and we have started by creating a contribute page that is linked from the primary menu of the website. We hope that this will help with new users finding information faster about how they can get started contributing.
Other Ideas
If you have any additional ideas about how we can promote contributing to Doctrine you can discuss them in the comments or on the mailing list thread.

Hi jwage. My suggestion is to first list what need to be done in 1.1 and 2.0 series. After that, name who from core(you, romain, blanco, etc) as manager of that part. after that, who whants to contribute, can directly contact these leaders and send pathces.
after some contributions, you can promote most active developers as mainteners of parts of code, and them make doctrine.
most of well organized open source projects are in this way. rails, drupal, django.
and update "contribute" page. :-D
And a gretting for your, core developers. We are just starting to use doctrine 1.1 to a big project, and soon we will come with some contribution, I hope.

A little correction: Don't get me wrong, I think that doctrine is very well managed.
