I would like to change the mindset a bit here. Students here try to 
contribute to the project - some are able to and some are not (there are 
reasons) . We should thus , appreciate their interest and just not tag 
them with "Students are in search of @projectname email addresses" 
(which ever it maybe) .

I do agree they should show up .

It may happen that the contribution is not noticeable to us but they 
might have influenced few to use openSUSE (Yes I have seen that).

Anyways I just wanted to make my point clear. Thanks :-)

P.S. Lets not always ask ! . Let us first share :-)
