I don't know the ALE dynamics well enough to comment on this, but I do 
know the Chugalug and a local PHP Dev's group well enough to know that
informally, this happens a lot. We know who to call, whome we can work 
with, and who pays what for a special project. It works well when you need
a few hours of uber-geekdom in a narrow specialty.
