I still would like to send an email to d-d-a around finding porters,
lest I think the port should no longer be a release architecture
post-bullseye. It's on my very near term todo list.

That being said Martha McConaghy manages the IBMISV instance where DSA
and myself have a few instances. If we knew the actual requirements it
shouldn't be hard to get some more. Disk has traditionally been annoying
(because it's delivered in the form of small MDISKs in z/VM rather than
large blobs of block storage).

Kind regards
