This concerns stuff that goes upstream or more like a fork (aka local
improvements)? Local changes quickly become a problem (example:
Bugzilla), also difficult when security updates are made (example:
Bugzilla.. sometimes updates have conflicts).

This used to be the case. Maybe the 'banner' which is on gnome.org
should show all GNOME hosted planets? (ux, news, people/planet, 2 others
as well.. see planet-web git module for details).

Some of the The Hague volunteers mentioned (remember William from Texas
saying this) during the GNOME 3 party that they'd be willing to assist
this year. But that would not be local.
