Searching for bug wranglers
by Frederik Schwan 09 Sep '26

09 Sep '26

We are searching for additional helping hands on our GitLab. Offering sources for thousands of packages requires triaging (and sometimes closing) the many issues that users report over time. As a bug wrangler you would be helping the distribution with triaging tickets across all package source repositories and assigning them to relevant package maintainers, as well as closing invalid ones and/or investigating the topics at hand (if applicable). This volunteer work requires familarity with GitLab, an understanding of packaging on Arch Linux, perseverance and coordination with other bug wranglers and package maintainers. If you are interested, please reach out to Frederik Schwan <freswa(a)archlinux.org> with an e-mail, that provides a bit of information about yourself and details your background with Arch Linux. Best regards, Frederik
