I think he was talking about this one:
https://tails.boum.org/contribute/how/sysadmin/
Which matches better your field of expertise :)

I'll rename the "User" section as "Share your experience". So all the
title are sentence with a verb.

This one got fucked up when we converted SVG to PNG. I'll bring the
previous logo back, it's much better.

The only example I found from this is "Fix a bug" and "Implement a
feature" which both point to "Improve Tails source code". So I changed
that and put a single one "Word on the source code".

Well, it's a really stripped down version of the resources useful to
contributors, aside from everything which is already linked from the roles.

Agreed, some stuff in the rest of the page can probably be further
simplified. I identified the following items to be quite too specific to
be there, or at least they should be in a specific section or page
"Tools to work on the source code" or something:
- Merge policy
- Customize Tails: that page is too specific to be in the main index
- Debian package builder: same
- APT repository: same
- Improve Tails by working on Debian: that's already in a role
I could give that a try.
