We really should cater for both, and they are quite different in their outlook :) One landing point for users will be https://wiki.debian.org/ReproducibleBuilds and we are at 100% (unlike Debian). A targetted website begets users. Interested users beget people wanting to contribute... Contributors beget talent... In my world Debian is becoming obsolete... We should inform others. The more people join the earlier I can ditch Debian completely. I hope that happens this year. Pj.
