Hi,
First of all, I'm really grateful for all the work you put into this.
Thank you!

You already know this but, for amd64 you can count on me to run as many tests as you want.
I'm always on the latest possible Rust version, right now 1.78.0 and do all my builds (quite a lot of packages :) ) with it.

I really hope others can help with other platforms.
