(Speaking with my Trusted Domain Project hat on).

Yes, we'll take help.

I have commit access to all the Github repos, and am trying to push out a new 
release of OpenDKIM.  I've been meaning to do this for months, but life and 
family stuff has been getting in the way.

Here are the things I'd really like to focus on:

* Making it work with a more current autoconf (we already did this for 
OpenDMARC)
* Making it build cleanly with modern openSSLs.
* Making it support the latest dkim key types (the version you can build from 
"devel" already does this.)
* Defining a set of "what the current state of OSes we test this thing are".

What I don't have the access to fix is our mailing lists, but I'm trying to get 
that (or at least get a list of the members and fork them off).

Rather than drag this thread on *far* too long, I'd strongly suggest starting 
this discussion elsewhere, and this mailing list may not be the place.

The chicken-and-egg problem is that there are a bunch of linuxes that I don't 
normally use that someone always insists are important.  A lot of the submitted 
patches are "works for me" but break things on other platforms.  And there's a 
bunch of stuff that, honestly, just needs to be ripped the hell out (like the 
GnuTLS support).

If people want to get together on some chat platform and bang things out, I'd 
love to work with anyone who can.
