I do not have access. The mesa-updates branch remains (and still an
active job I think, just nothing pushed since the merge). I plan on
making use of it as soon as 23.2 is out, along with a handful of
pending patches I've seen that will make sense here.
I haven't used Cuirass before but if a hand would be helpful I'm happy
to lend it (let me know if there is someone I should contact directly
or message me off list).

The problem I'm thinking of for a "desktop" team is setting the
correct scope of package files to make use of e.g. auto cc-ing on
patch submissions. Though at least (gnu packages gl) looks pretty
reasonable to start for maybe a graphics team? Maybe with vulkan?
I'm still not sure but I should probably propose something concrete
with at least myself for gl since those patches generally will go to
the mesa-updates branch for convenient building.
Anyone else want in?
John
