I'm very happy to get involved in this too. I plan to test out Lustre 
soon and have access to reasonable hardware resources available for a 
"test scale" setup. I also admin 100s of node scale clusters which could 
be moved to Lustre (and Debian) if things look good.

Please keep me in the loop.

Cheers,

Simon.
