Seeking an additional HCL maintainer

[Andrew David Wong]

Dear Qubes Community,

As many of you know, the Hardware Compatibility List (HCL) [1] is an
important resource for users when deciding on which hardware to get for
Qubes. Currently, our system for adding new entries to this list is
basically as follows: Users voluntarily generate HCL reports [2], then
send them to the qubes-users mailing list. Our HCL maintainer then
periodically collects these reports from qubes-users, performs any
necessary cleanup and processing, then submits them in a PR to the HCL
repo [3].

Users are also free to submit their reports in PRs directly to the HCL
repo, and we're always looking for ways to improve this system and all
aspects of the HCL.

Our current HCL maintainer is Chris (tasket), but the project could
benefit from an additional HCL maintainer to help out and share the
load. This would allow us to get reports from the mailing list onto the
website more quickly and perhaps help make other improvements to the
HCL. Chris can provide further details about what's involved in this
role. If you'd like to volunteer for this role, please let us know by
replying to this thread or directly to me. Thank you!
