…pters The two chapters state different eligibility criteria: volunteer-to-review.Rmd: 'Anyone from the Bioconductor community can volunteer to become a Bioconductor community reviewer' review-expectations.Rmd: 'Anyone from the Bioconductor community that has a package in Bioconductor can volunteer', with Qualifications giving 'Actively maintaining a Bioconductor package' A reader arriving at the volunteer chapter first is told there is no prerequisite, then finds one in the chapter it links to. Added the qualifier to the volunteer chapter so both state the same requirement. If the intent is instead that anyone may volunteer and maintaining a package is only required for assignment, the fix belongs in review-expectations.Rmd instead; happy to switch it around.
