=2E..and yet there was pat@ becoming a ports committer at the age of 16
and chris@ becoming a docs committer at the age of 14 :)  I think hmp@,
alepulver@, issyl0@ and jmallett@ were pretty young when they joined,
too.

Just an observation, I know that one or two isolated cases do not prove
a point :)

G'luck,
Peter
