If you’re fine with this, I/we can add you to the guix-sysadmin mailing list, which is private (we can discuss non-security-sensitive issues such as bugs in infra software here, of course). A sample of the kind of tasks we’ve had in recent days: ci.guix needing close monitoring to ensure it smoothly processes builds, redeployment needed because i586-gnu builders of ci.guix went unavailable due to <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/69401> (trying to do that currently), qa.guix throwing exceptions for some issues. Often reporting an issue of that sort on IRC is already one step towards a solution. > I'm not sure if I count as a "known" member of the community, but I have > been around the periphery for a while.

You definitely count as a “known member”. :-) Thanks for volunteering! Ludo’.
