Sorry for the slow response, I have been traveling recently. We are always
happy to have contributions/help to run the development infastructure for
OpenStack.
Currently our big efforts are around modernizing our configuration management
[0] and updating our git hosting setup [1]. One place to start may be with
reviewing changes that implement these efforts [2].
Other tasks that we have in progress are updating our older servers to Xenial
or Bionic from Precise [3]. We will also likely need to do some Gerrit plugin
work in the near future to improve our ability to create and rename projects as
well as restart Gerrit without pushing all replicated repos. This work will
likely involve a lot of Java.
If any of this sounds interesting to you let me know and I can help walk you
through it a bit more (feel free to contact me directly via email or IRC
(freenode #openstack-infra, my nick is clarkb) as you get bootstrapped as
well). If this doesn't look interesting but you would still like to get
involved feel free to share you interests and we may be able to find some good
fits for them.
Finally, our user [4] and administrator [5] docs are a good place to read
through to get a sense for how we operate and how our users use our services.
