Indeed, I am not a DD. I have been thinking for a long time becoming a
DM, and I know someone who could mentor me, but becoming a DD would be
one (long !) more step.

Well, I try to help when I can, following the debian-powerpc ML. I must
admit I don't look much to d-i bugs, as I don't use it very often, even
if it's a key part for newcomers ...

And the reactivity of people concerning PPC bugs don't help too (for
example I'm trying to push #568204 without much success ...)

Thanks anyway,
