You can actually assist by being a tester and sign off packages in the testing repos if you want :)
Yes, I've followed the python progress, and I would be happy to help test -- but I don't use python :(
I mean, I know what it is and how to write short scripts and have all the python dependencies that get pulled in, but I've been pretty much exclusive C/C++ for -- shit over 35 years now (and FORTRAN before that -- thankfully missed punch-cards by about 5 years - PCs didn't exist until I graduated college)
So I don't really have any test code or set of programs that move through all the python "import" packages (that have proliferated like weeds in a vacant lot since 2.7)
If you need testing of server packages, databases, (but not containers), I'm happy to help test.
Always good to have new testers. Hopefully you join. <https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Arch_Testing_Team_> I'd say it's as simple and painless as it can get.
