    From Adrian Gallo@21:1/5 to All on Thu Sep 29 01:10:01 2022
    Good morning,

    I have read your website and am keen to join the Debian QA team. There
    are a lot of options to help out.

    Could I please have direction in the best way to start contributing to
    the QA team?

    Excellent and welcome to Debian!

    There are a lot of options to help out.

    Indeed, most of them are mentioned on these pages:

    https://wiki.debian.org/qa.debian.org
    https://www.debian.org/intro/help#testing

    Could I please have direction in the best way to start contributing
    to the QA team?

    That depends on your skills and interests. Here is a list of the most
    impactful projects and skills for them. All of them need contributors.

    lintian: Perl based tool, used by maintainers to improve packages.

    https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/Lintian

    distro-tracker: Python/Django website, a per-package info/TODO list.

    https://tracker.debian.org/ https://qa.pages.debian.net/distro-tracker/contributing.html

    piuparts: Python based tool, checks package install/upgrade/remove.

    https://piuparts.debian.org/ https://salsa.debian.org/debian/piuparts/blob/develop/CONTRIBUTING

    maintainers to automatically check that packages still work.
