As such, what do folks think of the idea of a new, *opt-in* section in the developer guide, similar to the current experts index, but allowing core developers to indicate the ways in which we're willing to provide paid support.
It's certainly useful information to have, but I'm not sure about using
devguide for that. In the Mailman world, we use a wiki page. So far, it's self-serve, hasn't been abused, and I know it's helped people connect for
the paid
consulting (not me, but others in our community).
I did consider the wiki, but the nice thing about using an "Expert's Index" style page in the devguide is that it's self-certifying: the mere fact of being on the list inherently demonstrates that you have the necessary access to add yourself to the list.
The wiki's still a good fallback option, though.
Cheers, Nick.
