"Vaguely familiar with perl" = "Heavily familiar with Python" :)
"I feel like my patches are reviewed and committed in a timely fashion." = dw-free patches are reviewed and committed fast, dw-nonfree take longer - I have two in queue right now and at least I think that's why they are taking longer than the others.
"I find it easy to keep my development installation up-to-date." I constantly manage to mess it up so that my /dw changes are copied to /dw/cvs/dw-free instead of the other way around.
"I feel like it's easy to find a project I want to work on." Sometimes it's a bit hard to see how difficult something really is. There are things in 'effort-minor' which I am sure would take longer than a few hours or one/two days even if I were more familiar with stuff.
