The linux kernel calls it the same thing and so do all the other project that come up in that search.
Would you prefer "Custodial Engineering projects"
It definitely is the commonly used term for that sort of thing. But I would tend to agree that I wouldn't expect people to get excited about volunteering to be a janitor. Any idea how successful those projects are at attracting volunteers?
Sadly, I don't have a better suggestion. But no matter how much Michael says he loves janitors, to me a janitor is someone who has to clean up other people's crap (figuratively and sometimes literally). And I can see how that could fail to attract as many volunteers as the "Freeswitch Happy, Rich, and Well Endowed people" project might.
Like I said: Grab a mop and bucket or get outta the way! It's time to take out the trash. :) -MC
