Hi all;
I've been a Fedora maintainer for nearly two years, and have been running Fedora as my primary OS since RH7.1. I've also been running servers for a small business on it since RH9, as well as a local yum mirror. In my professional life, I maintain internal workstations and the associated repos and mirrors for my employer, using a mix of RHEL and CentOS.
Why am I telling you this? I've had a few tickets for infrastructure in the past, mostly revolving around packages missing from mirrors, and while these have invariably been resolved with high competence and professionalism by Mr. Macken and Mr. Keating, I would love to see them closed more quickly.
Since I'm acutely aware of the extreme fullness of the collective Infrastructure plate (especially of late), and I initially became a Fedora maintainer so I could stop bitching and start helping, I'd like to offer my services on this sort of thing.
I'm not sure which FIGs to apply to, other than sysadmin, obviously. If this goes well, not only will I stop bitching and start helping on mirror issues, but I'd be eager to take a crack at anything else in Trac that I might be able to assist with.
Thanks,
Jon Ciesla

Thanks,
Sure, have you applied for the sysadmin group already? What is your fedora username?

Yes, immediately after sending this. Username is limb.

Thanks. So, after poking around, I'm still not sure which FIG I should be looking at. My best guesses are -cvs and -build, as I seem to recall this being possibly a tagging problem. Then again, Mr. Macken doesn't appear to be in that group, but is in -releng. Not sure if there's any inheritance at play, and I'd like to avoid having access I don't need. :)
