I don't want volunteers as much as I want people who are *doing*
something.  The last call for volunteers netted alot of people, with
only 3-4 actually doing something, and of those only 2 remain that
actually actively work on the port.

None of these are related to the JDK.  We need people willing to fix
bugs and/or port the stock JDK code.  None of the above do *anything*
for us w/out a decent working JDK.

We don't need VM tuners, we need VM porters.
