Matsuu and pva are inactive, and lu_zero is busy with other things it seems. So that leaves me. I've always had an interest in fonts, so I'm happy to do this, but I don't have the time to properly maintain all packages belonging to the herd.

Anyway, no one was taking care of freetype and fontconfig at the time I picked up maintenance. So there you have it. I would be happy to have someone join the fonts team and co-maintain freetype and fontconfig. I just want to make sure infinality will remain available to our users. -- Cheers, Ben | yngwin Gentoo developer Gentoo Qt project lead, Gentoo Wiki admin --bcaec5186d4aad5e5204db099d88 Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

As the previous maintainer of these packages, I think they should be = maintained
by the x11 team as well as fonts. =C2=A0Fonts has been dead for a while and= freetype
at least needs a dedicated maintainer.

Fonts herd isn't dead, but most of the member have dispersed. Mat= suu and pva are
inactive, and lu_zero is busy with other th= ings it seems. So that leaves me. I've
always had an interest in fonts, so I'm happy to do this, bu= t I don't have the time=C2=A0
to properly maintain all = packages belonging to the herd. So help is more than
welcom= e.
=C2=A0
No offense to lu_zero, but he has a habit of popping in, applying some
non-upstreamed patch to a critical project, and then disappearing again.
On the other hand, you applied infinality, so you're not on my favorite= people
list either. =C2=A0:P

We'll need = to agree to disagree then. Anyway, no one was taking care of freetype
=
and fontconfig at the time I picked up maintenance. So there you= have it.

I would be happy to have someone join the f= onts team and co-maintain
freetype and fontconfig. I just w= ant to make sure infinality will remain=C2=A0
available to = our users.
