@Andy, @John, others (? Rene and Chris come to mind), I happily help you through the steps to become a Debian Maintainer (https://wiki.debian.org/DebianMaintainer) and with some good confidence so does Petter. Just ping me.
Concerning what OS platform to use for LinuxCNC, what we should possibly do is to prepare a questionnaire and have the users mailing list decide about what the USB stick should run on. After all, it is them who need to install it/buy new computers if we demand too much. Or we do multiple ISOs, i.e. one for Buster, one for Bullseye, and one for Bookworm. And then we learn from the download stats. Should we possibly just prepare an alpha release and look how far we get with what we have? And offer a public .iso for that?
