That's fine for sure.  I think we can need any helping hand to increase
testing.

Added to Debian Med project which grants you commit permission.

Feel free to pick one yourself.  Anna intended to start with bwa so we
should not touch this in the moment.  You might like to check prodigal
where I have given hints here:

   https://lists.debian.org/debian-med/2016/02/msg00123.html

May be it makes sense to create a Wiki page

   https://wiki.debian.org/DebianMed/CI

(or what better name you might invent) where Anna and you specify their
near time targets and tick-mark if the target is done.

Kind regards

       Andreas.
