Well, can't say I didn't see it coming. :)
I'd be happy (and honored) to do some fixes on my own. What I can't do 
is making any (time) committments, though. I might be putting several 
hours of work into Sugar today and be gone for several months tomorrow.

System administration is a cursed job. People only see what's going 
wrong, not what you need to do to keep it running. Been there, done 
that, even got a t-shirt. :)
But it is a sure way of getting to learn the depths of a computer 
system. :)

My main interest in Sugar currently is building a computer system that's 
usable for "regular" people, especially older ones. That means getting 
it to run, improving it (esp. data store / "Journal"), writing 
activities. But since all that depends on having a working 
infrastructure, I might help out there, too. After all, my original 
business idea was about providing computer systems and all their 
dependencies as "infrastructure", so can't claim I don't care about it. 
But my time is limited, so I need to choose carefully where it's spent 
best.
