I'd quite like to, but I really don't have sufficient time to make a
difference.  Sometimes, like today, I have a few minutes, while the glue
is setting, to come and see what's happening, and maybe chuck in a few
rude comments - but I don't have the time that I'd need to do anything
that requires study and testing.

The other problem is that I don't have an LFS system at all any more.
I've moved to Ubuntu for my operational desktop, and CLFS for the
gateway (and I don't play with that as it runs the local DNS,
mail-server and website).  I could fix this with a dual boot, but then
everything takes twice as long to do...

The third problem is that LFS is almost dead (although BLFS is still
alive and kicking - It's great to see how much effort you guys are
putting in, and it's appreciated, I assure you.) and despite Gerard
having finally built the replacement server, he isn't contributing, and
there doesn't appear to be much going on.  Maybe LFS 6.2 is perfect.
CLFS is alive, and regularly moves things forward, but I am supremely
uninterested in multilib, 64bit, and other processors that I don't have
and can't afford.

So forgive me, I shall probably not take up your invitation.  But I am
still cheering from the stands.  :-)
