I wanted to echo the questions asked here.

I'm interested in seeing FreeBSD's GNOME keep up with upstream. But the
FreeBSD GNOME site and wiki page look out of date and are pretty
unhelpful in stating how to contribute.

There's a list of team members but not who's responsible for what, so
it's hard to find out who to reach out to. And this mailing list is full
of automated messages so it's hard to sort out the cruft.

How can I get involved with GNOME on FreeBSD?
