That is precisely why I'm asking on this list. I don't know who those people
are, and this is really the best place I know of to start contact and those
discussions.
My apologies.. my tone was not helpful. You are correct that asking
here is where to start. I think the groups who would be able to help
answer would be
1. Kernel team
2. QA team
3. Anaconda team
4. Workstation/Server/Cloud or just one if it were to be only on one product.
