[gentoo-dev] sys-kernel/dracut looking for more maintainers

Hi,

I'm resending e-mail from my gentoo.org address, instead of the private
one... so just ignore the previuos thread with this subject.

I have not much time [0] to maintain Dracut properly.  Moreover I don't
use its extra features anymore, so it's hard for me to keep up with
changes.  From some time Alexander Tsoy follows changes and solves
issues, but I think that Dracut needs also a maintainer with rw access
who could quickly solve critical issues and test it appropriately.  It
is especially important to have somebody who would care about Dracut
health on OpenRC-based systems.

Alexander, maybe you would like to become a Gentoo developer? (-: I
could mentor you.

I am still going to be involved, but more as a secondary maintainer or
mentor, etc.

[0] Yes, it actually has something to do with net-mail/notmuch. :-)  I'd
like to focus more on net-mail/notmuch related packages instead.

Thanks,

I'm willing to help debug things and commit fixes, although I
primarily use systemd so it is harder for me to test most of the
modules.

I can certainly review patches and proxy commits. If you think it
would be helpful, let me know.

I can pitch in, we use dracut at my employer. I actually have a local
patchset fixing some issues/redhat-isms that I have been meaning to
release at some point.

Hi,

prometheanfire, chutzpah and Alexander will take care of Dracut.  I will
just serve with advice and keep an eye on changes.
