FYI everyone, I've now changed all the sysadmin groups to be invite only. Lots of users would apply and kind of just sit there for months, and that's not good. So by invite only, one of us has to add users to the groups and sponsor them at that time.

Mike,
Does this dovetail with the "promotion paths" we talked about for some of the more critical groups? Getting invited in, being mentored for a while and then a combination of the mentee wanting to move up and the mentor sponsoring them for a group like -main or -dba.
So a new user has to show some interest and initiative in the list and IRC to get an invite to the main group. And the same to move up to some of the higher responsibility groups. It makes sense to judge skill and availability, IMHO.
Course, we run the risk of sounding like Masons ... "The Supreme Council of the Infrastructures General of the Project Fedora of the Twenty-second degree of the Ancient and Accepted Linux Distributions" ;)
