We do even have a proof that if a team is open and does proper mentoring
new developers will be attracted to Debian.  If you look at:

   https://wiki.debian.org/DebianMed/Developers

and specifically into the column "DD because Debian Med exists" you see
a lot of "yes" values.  I admit that a large part of my motivation is to
create such kind of table for Debian GIS as well.  I want to show that
Debian is as open to newcomers as the newcomer itself is open and
interested to do some challenging work.
