I can't talk for the GNOME Infra team, but I know that the problem is often
the small things adding up. So even if it's probably not too hard, there is
this + that + this. 🤷

As for providing a hand, you can always propose. Maybe it's not too late
since they are still here. I believe the Infrastructure tracker would be a
good place to start (https://gitlab.gnome.org/Infrastructure/Infrastructure/)
or maybe #sysadmin channel on GIMPNet (looking for AndreaVeri/av). We would
just follow and if the mailing lists stayed around, we'll happily continue
using them.
