Thanks for your interest!
I'll reply off-list with a specific proposal including step-by-step
instructions.

I'm not posting publicly because for now we're trying several workflows
with the different volunteers that expressed interest; once we get
everybody comfortable we'll document these workflows (maybe in a wiki
page) so they are available to anybody else to contribute.

Kind regards,
