actually, i joined the mailing list because i though “its hacktoberfest” and 
“reviewing modules seems to be a good start to get involved in netbeans”. and 
like you said, i basically stumbled over the requirement to edit the confluence 
and assign a module to myself.
i already requested edit access to the confluence but i could see that this is 
not given lightly. so, i am also interested for myself: how can i contribute? 
do i need confluence access or is there a way to be mentored and help without 
it?

cheers,
daniel
