I think the QA bot will also involve coding. I don't know if there are any systems that we can re-use for that.
But don't get me wrong: You can work on whatever you want. If you want to help on the core project, we can certainly come up with something there as well. Either pick an issue yourself or discuss an idea with us. Maybe the streaming guys could also add some "starter" tasks to the JIRA.
