[Cython] How best to contribute

[Henry Schmale]

Hi Matti,

I've been on the developer mailing list for a while just soaking in the
knowledge. I can't really contribute because of who my employer is, and how
difficult it is to secure approvals. However I would love to join your
calls if you want to schedule them.

I for one am glad cython exists and love reading the mailing list when
things come up on it.

Best regards,
Henry
