Hello Buildbot community,

I'm really excited to work with you on this project.

I've attached a draft proposal for this project.
I would request you to review it and suggest any improvements to it.

I would request anyone to share their instance messaging id, so that I can
be in touch and it would be easy to communicate faster.

Thanks and regards
Samartha S M
