Hi there Julien, I am excited to be part of this and working with you.

I am ok with the last 6 of them. As for contacting the hackers, is
there someone from g-j who would be able to provide emails of these
people? Who would be the main contact on g-j side?

I also like the idea of language-bindings bounties. I think it would
be a good candidate if we don't hear from many of SoC guys.

Thanks,
