Hi Alexander,

As Paul says, apologies for the delay in response, we're all still
recovering from F-23 GA :-)

It's a bit hard to get stuck right in as a lot of the process requires
special access. That said it's not impossible and we welcome
newcomers. Heck, I was one once!

We all hang out on #fedora-releng on freenode and that's a good place
to start. I got involved through the secondary arches, and there's
means there if you have some bandwidth and some check devices, or even
emulation, where you can start to play and understand the process
more.

Let us know your IRC nick, I'm pbrobinson, and look forward to seeing
you in the channel.

Peter
