Would be a pleasure to help you on maintenance.
I know pretty well kubespray since release-2.7, and use it daily for deploying bare metal for video broadcating platforms.
Already tried to identify some issues I could fix but only found some "hey I got a problem here" tickets 😆

@jseguillon thanks for coming forward, we're happy to get some help, we've listed a couple of areas that need some work in #5432.
