[ANN] Join Org mode contributor liaison team and help maintaining Org mode

Dear all,

TL;DR: We are looking for volunteers who are ready to help with initial
review of 4 to 8 bugs, patches, or feature requests every month.
No deep Elisp skills required; just being kind. "Initial review" can be
as simple as marking new emails for our bug tracker by replying with
"Confirmed." in email body to bug reports.

Without much hope, I replied:

Hi everyone,

I recently came across the Org maintenance post and would like to volunteer my time to help the project. I can handle approximately one email per week.

About my background:

Experience: I have 4 years of professional software engineering experience, primarily in python and Wolfram Language.

Elisp & Org: I am comfortable writing Emacs Lisp and use Org mode heavily on a daily basis for my professional workflow.

Contributions: I have previously contributed commits to org-jira, a tool which I use almost daily as well.

Let me know how if you are interested.

And, looks like they are interested! They replied back saying that since I have some lisp/elisp knowlege I could handle more technical reviews and diffs. And then added me to the contributor liaison list:

I love org mode for several reasons and I am excited to help even a little bit on this great project. I will document my setup for this in the next few days, my goal will be to review at least one report or email per week. Let's see how it evolves.
