Exactly how did you try to volunteer?  I don't see you in the list
archives
(https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-doc/2007-May/author.html).
When I was on that list, I found everyone very friendly.

Create a file called, say, medibuntu_codecs.sh, beginning with the line:

#!/bin/sh

Then just add every command you want to run.  Add -y to the apt-get
commands.

Save the file and then make it executable with:

chmod +x medibuntu_codecs.sh

To run it,

./medibuntu_codecs.sh

Obviously, scripting can do a lot more than this.
