Yes, we can definitely use help!  I'd suggest subscribing to the
chromium package through the PTS[1] if you haven't already.  Then some
tasks that might be useful would be:

 - convincing the build system to stop using -Werror (bug#671994)

 - checking if non Debian-specific bugs are already reported upstream
   and forwarding them if not

 - using more system copies of libraries instead of embedded code
   copies

 - forwarding patches to optionally use system copies of libraries
   upstream (http://crbug.com/28287 tracks this).

 - simplifying and documenting debian/rules

 - understanding how debian/copyright is generated and convincing it to:
   - use correct DEP-5 syntax (see copyright-format.html from the
     debian-policy package)
   - combine stanzas that have no difference aside from copyright
     dates

 - plenty of other things :)

Sorry for the slow reply.  If there is anything I or anyone else can
do to help, just ask.

Thanks,
Jonathan
