This is a bit off-topic for this thread, but the last I had heard we
already had the hardware and it just needed somebody to set it up.
That was a few months ago so that could be stale.

I am concerned that infra is fairly overworked, and the nature of it
makes it harder to bring new people in to help.  It isn't like anybody
can just pick up a server and start admining it the way they can work
on a package.  Stuff like this is probably why github seems to be
slowly taking over the world.
