Well, I think it was mostly one person, but as they are the primary maintainer for the subsystem that opinion carries some weight (although it should be noted that another co/sub-maintainer has been somewhat more interested in getting v4l2loopback upstreamed). However, last I knew, there was still some significant work to be completed on the driver in order to meet current kernel and subsystem standards before it could be reconsidered for inclusion. Those that want to see the driver upstreamed should likely contribute to those changes. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
