Added Eric Winters to the OP given that Gaby says we've got a lot of traction here. @Odysseus given the large number of offers and significant traction, the law of averages is heavily in Mario's favor to pull kid(s) out of the "slave belt" this cycle.

Well, already one commit from our 25 list in the OP.

Probably, but I'm starting metrics from Mario.
