The general page for how to help Debian is here:
https://www.debian.org/intro/help
More specifically, you could:
Join the #debian-cd, #debian-boot, #debian-buildd, #debian-ftp,
#debian-ports (introduce yourself here at minimum), #debian-release
and #debian-toolchain IRC channels (and maybe #debian-devel). There
isn't really a mailing list for i386, so maybe use debian-devel or
debian-amd64.
Help test the installer:
https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/DebianCD/ReleaseTesting
Install and enable popularity-contest on your i386 machines and submit
to the Linux hardware database. Encourage other i386 users to do the
same.
https://popcon.debian.org/
https://wiki.debian.org/Hardware/Database
https://linux-hardware.org/
Create install wiki pages for the hardware you own:
https://wiki.debian.org/InstallingDebianOn
Help maintain the installer and documentation:
https://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller
https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/
Create a new i386 page in the Ports area on the wiki based on the template:
https://wiki.debian.org/Ports
https://wiki.debian.org/PortTemplate
Maintain the other documentation about the i386 port:
https://www.debian.org/ports/i386/
https://wiki.debian.org/i386
Create a scheme to tag i386-specific bugs (maybe user debian-devel,
usertag i386) and maintain the installer usertags for debian-boot and
the port usertags. Work on fixing the bugs tagged i386.
https://udd.debian.org/cgi-bin/bts-usertags.cgi?user=debian-boot@lists.debian.org&tag=i386
https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/Debbugs/ArchitectureTags
Work on increasing the amount of software that builds and works on i386:
https://udd.debian.org/cgi-bin/ftbfs.cgi?arch=i386
https://buildd.debian.org/status/architecture.php?a=i386
https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/testing/index_suite_i386_stats.html
https://ci.debian.net/status/
Follow #debian and #debian-next and help out any i386 users asking
questions (although there aren't (m)any in practice).
