We’ll be adding people who respond here to the release@rust-lang.org email list and I’ll send out an email with the initial set of tasks we’ll be taking on (primarily rotation signups) Wednesday or Thursday.

I currently write the release blog post; I don’t think I have bandwidth to get involved more, but would like to at least work with the team regarding that stuff. So include me in whatever capacity you think makes sense.

BatmanAoD · 2018-01-16T18:07:45.401Z

I am interested! I’m somewhat concerned that I’ll find I don’t have the bandwidth and/or knowledge to contribute meaningfully, but I’d like to at least try.

steveklabnik:

I currently write the release blog post…

Would you like assistance with this in some way? I believe I am a fairly clear writer, and this would be a good way to keep myself up-to-date on Rust’s evolution.

adrq · 2018-01-16T20:27:47.398Z

I would definitely like to contribute. I’m looking forward to being more involved in this community!

nikomatsakis · 2018-01-16T21:21:54.154Z

One thing that @arielb1 and I were talking about in #rustc was that there is a lot of work that goes into tracking down regressions where the compiler team could really use some help.

Examples include:

Trying to narrow down to small, independent test cases (or at least reproducible ones)
Bisection
Classifying more clearly as a “compiler vs libs” issue

Do you think this ought to fall under the purview of the release team?
