You can still do it as a private person.  As long as you proudly stand
behind the mud you throw at them yourself. :-)

I'd valunteer as well.

I'd like to suggest to keep the Amuta legaly DEttached from the
mailing list - keep the mailing list as open as it is now, but form an
Amuta for people who would like to get more involved in an area which
"just happens to" be similar to the mailing list.
