Why are we assuming that there were lots of volunteers in the first place? If this is such a high-trust position, it should be called something other than "roadie". I thought it was common knowledge that the term "roadie" is considered mildly derogatory, and that the modern word was more specific and skill-based, i.e. "stage manager", etc. As an N=1 example, I myself have some experience with various Django packages including some Jazzband ones. Around 7 years ago I looked at this organization, thought about volunteering to be a "roadie", and specifically decided not to do so due to the terminology. I'm pretty sure that something like "Looking for trusted co-maintainers with a history of FOSS contribution" would draw in more folks than "Looking for roadies". If you're going to say "well no one complained", guess what, I didn't either. People will just quietly decide to not volunteer due to stuff like this; leading to a shortage over time. Summary: Branding and acknowledgement matters, so check carefully what you call the volunteers that you're expecting tens of hours of free work from.
