[Nix-dev] Regarding the unstable channel

[Eric Sagnes]

Thanks you both for the clarification.

The few packages I had issues with were trivial to fix, and as I
have some free time to use on NixOS I will definitely check the
failing jobs list to find easy to fix packages.

Are there ways for a normal user / contributor to help the QA team?
If so, I will be very happy to help.

It would be nice that beside packaging, there were details and 
instructions on how to help important parts of the project like 
QA, bug triaging, PR, etc. in the contributor guide.
