I like this idea. ;) I'll put together a big ol' list according to
Andrew Levstik's e-mail
(nick.[user|wizard|mage|guru|bot|apprentice|elder].sourcemage).

Though a few points:
  user: This would be a bad idea, IMO, since it'd be a lot of requests
to lilo to add/remove people as the come/go (though we do have users
who've been around for a while, those would probably be okay ;))

  wizard,mage,apprentice: Not sure how to differentiate these from the
other tags.

  guru: These would be the general gurus? If so, then wizard/mage
would probably be section gurus?

Proposed naming:
  user: User's who request a cloak and have been around for a 'while'
(say, at least 3 months?)

  elder: A Team Lead

  wizard: A Sorcery developer

  mage: A Grimoire section maintainer

  guru: A member of any other team

  apprentice: A Grimoire General Guru

  bot/golem: self-explanatory (golem would be nicer, IMO, but freenode
may want bot. ;))

I'm not sure if we should distinguish between Sorcery and Grimoire
developers. I'm thinking just mark both as 'wizard', move 'mage' as a
Grimoire General Guru and remove 'apprentice'.

Thoughts?
