I certainly won't stop anyone that wants to do this. I can also help
in applying patches (and uploading, if you need sponsoring). But the
hard part, creating useful tasks in the first place, is what I failed
to do. Hopefully you can succeed where I didn't.

I wonder if the tasks have any use as-is and maybe we should just
publicize them a bit more so that users can tell us what they miss.
