Increase in formulae. Can I help?

Increase in formulae. Can I help?

Hello,

Just wanted to ask if there were anything I can do to help with the 
increase in pulls, and help out as best as I can?

I'm not completely fluent, in CLI, but have gained some experience over 
the years with Arch Linux and now OS X for the bast five months. Still, I 
have still to master any skills.

Have been thinking several times to send this email, but it's not until 
now I finally came around to finally do it.

If not, I'm happy to help with the small effort I can.

Thank you for Homebrew!

Thanks Birger,

From what I can tell we do need another collaborator. But really it's up 
to AdamV to pick people as he's most familiar with stuff right now.

There's a lot of trust placed in the project, and approving patches 
requires us to be careful with new recruits.

How to test submissions:

Grab some commits and try to compile them; if they don't work, gist
the build output and link to it in the Issue.
If they work, leave a comment saying "compilation worked for me."

Be sure to "brew audit" after pulling commits to make sure they follow
Homebrew style.

Always build with "brew install -v" and double-check the output for
dependencies that were missing.
Lots of things fail to include "depends_on 'pkg-config' => :build" for instance.

Hello again,

Just received my MacBook Pro from service. Needed to change my whole screen :/

I'll try to go through some of the formulae starting with the oldest ones.
Maybe check for upstream updates, etc. To make sure all are up to date. 
And will include a compile:status message.
