I would appreciate it very much to have Debian/Amd64 be a first-class citizen of bigtop. And yes, I am would step in as a maintainer for it. > The work would start with helping us bootstrap Debian > on our CI, but then just being able to provide feedback > would be huge. I bootstraped debian/stable and debian/testing (with one exception) right now. My personal tree/commits is at https://github.com/oflebbe/github right now.
