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. Signed-off-by: Louis Chauvet <louis.chauvet@xxxxxxxxxxx>
I see that you're now a developer in the drm/misc repo. Therefore, I applied this patch to misc/kernel.git (drm-misc-next). Thanks for volunteering! Best Regards, - Maíra
--- 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.
