E.g. taking care of GNU ELPA. Hi Stefan, As I told you, I would gladly volunteer, but: - I would only have ~6 hours per week to dedicate to Emacs, which seems to be too little considering the task. - Many parts of the codebase are completely foreign to me (including most of the C code). - Being relatively new, I probably don't have enough experience with the community. That said, I would like to give a hand to the new maintainer(s), so working on some sub-tasks would be a good fit I think.
