Comment on Linux file system developer: we're severely under-resourced

I’m having trouble understanding the email, is this for people to help with fs or xfs or both or are they effectively equal? The linked patch is for XFS which I understand Darrick has quit, is he still on fsdevel? Is this plea for either ?

The thread is an attempt to merge a new file system,
bcachefs. This is a large change, requiring a lot of review from experienced developers, and getting anyone to do this work turned out to be difficult. Darrick here started talking how, in general, all development of file systems in Linux is troubled by lack of manpower.kitonthenet@kbin.social 1 year ago
So if this is a plea for help, where should I go to see what I can do?
