Yes. We have talked to people in person since before 2013. I have tried
to get you on board several times, for example to replace the website
with a nice map of all torservers relays (by all partners), or a static
map of all partner orgs. We would need an issue tracker to dump all the
ideas in, but it won't help if there is nobody with capacity to
coordinate. We do NOT need a tech sysadmin; the sys admin is the
smallest and easiest bit. There is a lot of coordination necessary,
because it is impossible to find someone to take over everything that is
going on at once. We have spent countless hours on "trying to integrate
new people" but if we lack the person(s) to coordinate, it is a lot of
wasted effort for everyone. The alternative that I have been suggesting
since 2014 is to "shut down" Torservers, to make it clear that it is in
no way achieving its goals due to lack of time.
