- zaxcellent 6y agoI suppose that theory is possible. A proxy for developer availability might be to check the primary mailing list of xorg for the full month of march: https://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-devel/2021-March/thread.html https://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-devel/2021-March/thread.ht....

- taway098123 6y agoI hope someone comes along to review those, but I don't see there being much interest in it.
