You might find some people usually trying to help others on -mentors (and/or on #-mentors). Helping bug-workers figure out where to use gdb, strace, and the like isn't that complicated. Of course, there are hard bugs, and those might take more time. But helping others learn basic tool might help, if they're able to provide a backtrace by themselves, check that reported crashes aren't just PEBCAK's and so on. Although the timeslots I reserved to Debian until last months are going to be reduced soon, I would be interested in being part of such a group. Cheers, -- Cyril Brulebois
