Welcome to Fedora! The infrastructure group is always looking for new
people to share the load. They actually have a really well defined
process for new comers. It's detailed here:

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure/GettingStarted

It's quite simple really - introduce yourself, get added to the
apprentice group and get your hands dirty, and when you're ready, you
get sponsored to the main infra group. If you do run into any issues,
ask away -  I do tinker with infra a little, but not to much ;)

That's really good to hear! If you run into any bugs, do file them and
inform the QA team so that the rest of the community is aware of them.
