Absolutely. Between OE and the Yocto Project we do have a couple of wiki 
pages:

http://www.openembedded.org/wiki/OpenEmbeddedJanitors
https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Janitors

We need to work on getting this information into one place though and turning 
it into a reasonable list with pointers on how people can get started.

That's correct.
