Guys:
Bummer I missed the IRC meeting...

I'm the kernel maintainer for a number of ARM boards that run debian-arm
and don't require hardware mods first:
http://cogcomp.com/csb_csb337.htm (AT91RM9200)
http://cogcomp.com/csb_csb637.htm (AT91RM9200)
http://cogcomp.com/csb_csb625.htm (PXA255)
These three boards run 2.6 kernels, boot standalone, and have run
debian-arm for a couple of years now. They're all ~200 MHz machines,
however, so I'm not sure they'd make good buildd candidates. If anyone
thinks otherwise, let me know and I'll see what I can do to get a few of
them online. I have colo resources at a facility in the USA, so getting
them accessible from anywhere won't be a problem.
Would love to become an official Debian Developer, but I'm mostly
focused on kernels and not packages per se. If that's enough to get me
in, then would someone sponsor me?
Alternatively, what packages need some help getting over the top? I'd
be happy to take a look at them so as to get them moving again,
especially if that gets me onboard as a DD. But I hesitate to be the
offical package maintainer long-term because kernel work keeps me pretty
busy.
