I also don't have the time to contribute back to the linux-distros list
at the level required in the list membership criteria.
The work I do for Guix is my best effort and I think it's understood
that, as a volunteer, there will be times when I am unavailable. My
job's schedule is irregular and has to take precedence.
On the other hand, it seems like the linux-distros mailing list
community is trying to formally assign tasks for members to fulfill for
the benefit of their community.
Currently, I can't commit to doing any task by myself for the entire
Linux distro community. Also, I don't think there is anybody on the list
who knows me and could vouch for me alone.
If there were another Guix member who could split the task, and had
someone to vouch for them, that could make it possible. But based on the
replies in the last 10 days, it doesn't seem to be the case.
