Also, why would you consider volunteering? To accomplish something, or to amuse yourself at Wikipedia's expense? I've no doubt you'd be successful in whichever of those was your true objective, let me make clear.
I still hold forth some hope that Wikipedia's core purpose could be salvaged with enough commitment from stakeholders. This is the best hope I've seen for that in a long time. Also, I've spent a lot of time thinking about what's wrong with Wikipedia and have many ideas (some good, most probably bad) on how to improve it, mostly unhampered by any involvement in the day-to-day drama of the ongoing site.
I'm sure they're not interested in my services anyway, so I won't bother with this further. If someone here wants to convey my offer to the appropriate parties, they're welcome to do so. My email address is well-known, and I can always be contacted via a WR PM.
