Good question.  Of course, the thought has crossed my mind that it could
be myself.  I was also thinking it should be one of the distro
maintainers, since they are already doing most of the patch integration
work, but since no one has volunteered yet, then I will, here.

Thanks for summarising that.   I think I'm capable, if you want to see
that I can track down and fix problems, here are some of the bugs I've
fixed in various projects:

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3D3304 (only WONTFIXed
because no one including myself uses that hardware anymore)
http://bugs.gw.com/view.php?id=3D48
http://www.sraoss.jp/pipermail/sylpheed/2012-January/005042.html
http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/sound=
/pci/hda/hda_codec.c?id=3D3bef1c377d1bd8fd879ee5a66cf6f45ba16820cd
and of course icewm: =

http://sourceforge.net/p/icewm/bugs/741/
http://sourceforge.net/p/icewm/patches/200/
http://sourceforge.net/p/icewm/patches/201/ (the one I mentioned
earlier, obviously still needs a lot more clean up and made
configurable before being mergeable)

Well, that's my "resum=E9" for applying for the position :)

Marko, I don't know what your circumstances are, and I hope you're ok,
but if you're reading this, then please speak up!

Thanks,
Laurence
