This sounds like a good idea, thanks for committing the time for it! On reading I had two thoughts:
While I’m assuming that you’re willing to try helping with anything, people with more technical problems will appreciate a summary of what skills you can provide in particular.
I’m also wondering if there is demand for this in a format more like HN office hours.
Let people make appointments. Everyone involved would agree to meet somewhere online and depending on exactly what was needed: have a conversation or use a session sharing tool for some collaborative work.

1 - Good idea!
I pride myself in giving actually useful editing, not just trivial things. I will,
tell you when things don’t make sense
tell you you have to rewrite or add sections
cross out chunks with abandon
give you organizational advice.
I have access to the University of Washington’s library system, so I can download most papers.
I know quite a bit of Bayesian stats
I have an engineering background.
I have Lots of programming experience.
I like having something explained to me and then repeating back my understanding
I’ll have to ask the others to post what they think their strong points are.
2 - I’m not actually familiar with HN office hours, so I will have to take a look. Thanks for the link!
Can you elaborate on what kind of setup you’re thinking of in terms of HN office hours?
