Dear Mike

Thank you!  That sounds like a fantastic offer.

I think Andreas, Sam, Teo, Cheng are probably the best people to start
with, although others may chime in.  But why not also come to the GHC HQ
meeting which happens every week at 1300 UTC on Tuesdays?  See 2.2 in
https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc-hq#2-the-ghc-team
