Maybe someone in the list would be interested in helping David Roundy out in tuning darcs?
Tuning is one thing, and certainly valuable, but the real problem is that it uses certain algorithms that fundamentally don't scale, primarily in conflict handling during merging or patch commutation. Now, with a small group of people, these are pretty easy to work around. For something like the group of contributors to the Linux Kernel, this is not the case. Dave _is_ working on the issue, and would undoubtedly welcome any insight people have on it. But it's going to require a broader skillset than "haskell performance tweaking". -- Aaron Denney -><-
