This is great; one question that may necessitate forking this thread: I've
used MT's template to good effect, but I haven't contributed to a WG that
uses continuous integration (which sounds so awesome now that I know a bit
about what that does).

Do we plan to do anything in this WG related to CI tools? I know some WGs
have a soft (or hard?) requirement to use CI tools and submit PRs, etc. via
the CI tooling. It would be great if there were good pointers on "How to
get up to speed with CI tools as used in IETF WGs". I'm going to muddle
around a bit and may be helpful contributing to an ID on this kind of stuff
after my newbie-to-CI journey.
