Support with casual testing
Some things are just so important that they need to be tested every day, every week, every month. Just hang around in QA group and try out the stuff that gets flagged. Without your help the developers may sit there for days more, trying to figure out the puzzle.
Join and introduce yourself “Hi, my name is X, and I own Z. How can I help?” that will do fine ;)
Unless you want to step up to become our Test Manager, but that is a whole different story.

OnePlus 6
Did the maintainer say that feature ‘works’ but you know from doing it that
it really doesn’t?
Start by searching the bug device issue if you found it, hopefully the porter is on it. 'Subscribe' to the issue in case it get solved.
Couldn't find it?
Uh-oh… Well it is time to let the porter and everyone else know about the fail and send the tech magic back to the workshop for a makeover.
1. Read 'Bug Reporting' section in UBports docs on 'How to report a bug'.
2. Then (this time), head to GitHub Issues and submit it, so the porter knows about it.
