This should be included in the description if that's part of the role.
This alone is a task and I'm afraid *that* does require much more time
commitment and experience I don't think I have with XFS yet. And so it
would seem to me a more experience developer on both fstests and XFS
would be required for this.

I could certainly help try to set a high bar, but to actually ensure
correctness of XFS test patches, I do think that should require a more
seasoned XFS developer and with fstests.
