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
