Are you looking for hardware, or for admin volunteers?  No matter how
much I hate wearing the admin hat, I seem to be pretty good at running
stable Bugzilla servers, if that's something you are interested in.
It's one of the most flexible of the FLOSS issue trackers.

I'm not sure that you would be interested in running it on our infra,
seeing how musl is a distro-agnostic libc.  However, I would certainly
be willing to help you get everything set up if you want help.

Are you additionally taking suggestions here?  I might be able to mock
something up.

I would love to contribute good/better documentation to musl.  If you
could make those lists I would definitely see what I could contribute.
