Ian, I would definitely be interested in triage, backlog refinement, etc. Are there product owners designated for each functional area? I could start by making sure new issues are at least assigned to the correct PO for prioritization.
With respect to packaging, I'm aware of the current effort underway. In my day job, I'm responsible for packaging -- both our internal library packages, and our customer-facing product packages. This includes the tooling around the packages, the delivery mechanism(s), web front end for administration, etc. I am admittedly a Go novice, but I think this is a relatively language-agnostic discipline. However, I know of the vendoring quirks and lack of portable libraries (i.e. dll or jar style references). If you think these are areas I could be of service, feel free to follow up with me offline if you like.
