I don't really have "daily tasks". The only daily task I really have is
just watching the buildd build packages and record build failures. That
part is fine.

The other regular task is actually building the gnumach, hurd,
rumpkernel, libpciaccess on a Debian system (nothing actually
Debian-specific), and quite often it doesn't actually build or doesn't
work. And then fixing it is not something one can make a tutorial for
since almost by definition a bug is something unexpected.

It would. Because I'd have to find something that actually makes sense,
can be understood, or else have to explain things (without knowing what
people know or doesn't know).:

Ok but that's regular maintenance. The regular tasks I have is most
often some issue that is completely new, so by definition cannot be
documented.
