Subject: [PATCH] MAINTAINERS: Add myself as VKMS Maintainer
Date: Tue, 10 Sep 2024 17:10:45 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240910-vkms-maintainer-v1-1-e7a6c7a4ae71@bootlin.com> (raw)

I've been actively working on VKMS to provide new features and
participated in reviews and testing. To help Maìra with her work, add
myself as co-maintainer of VKMS.

Hi everyone,

This series [1] has been waiting for a while now, it was proposed first in
February. The first iterations had few reactions (thanks to Arthur, Pekka,
Maìra, ...), but since v8 (in May) no major issues were reported, Maìra 
seemed satisfied, and only minor cosmetic changes were reported. Two other 
series ([2] and [3]), that I submitted first in May, did not have receive 
any reactions.

In addition, there is also some significant addition to VKMS being 
proposed, such as ConfigFS support, and without a clear maintainer having 
the time to review and approve these changes, these changes have very 
little changes to get in.

VKMS is not a fundamental driver for "normal" Linux users, but I had some 
feedback from userspace developpers that VKMS could be a very good testing 
tool if only it had more features (I think P0xx formats were asked to 
test HDR for example). This could also help to detect issues in DRM core 
by emulating a wide range of configurations.

I believe the only active maintainer is Maìra, but as she's mentioned before,
she doesn't have much time to work on VKMS. So, I'd like to volunteer as a
maintainer. I have plenty of time to dedicate to VKMS.

I hope I've gained enough understanding of VKMS to be helful with this role.
I am eager to move forward and improve this subsystem. I've also talked to Sean
about this, and he agrees that it would be good if I could commit code to
drm-misc.
