Thank you for reaching out, this is absolutely the right channel.
I'm one of three current pandoc Docker maintainers and also the one to
blame for most of the current code used to generate the images.

I'm a fan of those pandocker images (and contributed a small patch in
the past <https://github.com/dalibo/pandocker/pull/228>)

That would be great! If you are ok with a little more responsibility,
I'd be happy to see you become a maintainer at the pandoc/dockerfiles
repository. That would make it easy for you to shape everything to your
needs.

Heads-up: The current build system works well, but is still in dire need
of a redesign. The attempt to reduce duplication backfired, and now we
have a lot of accidental complexity. I'll try to fix this and would be
happy to get help or input from an experienced maintainer.

Cheers,
Albert
