Hi all,

In the almost 5 years since its creation, the liquidctl project has been maintained mostly by me.

I've had some help, sure, from @MarshallAsch, @aleksamagicka, @amezin, and other driver authors and contributors. But so far it has remained, in essence, a one-person project.¹ And I think it's time to change that.

All areas of the project could use new team members:

• issue triage and follow-up;
• reviewing of pull requests;
• bug fixes;
• new features;
• new drivers;
• addition and checking of type annotations;
• refactoring and polishing of the codebase.

(There's also an idea for a liquidctl 2.0: a different architecture – possibly daemon based – and implementation – possibly in Rust²).

So please comment here, or write me an email, if you would like to join the team. Of course, for most of the areas mentioned above, you can just get started right now, and we'll make it official later.

(A way to get reasonably up to speed is probably to read the open issues and pull requests [and their comments], check out the developer documentation in docs/developer, and familiarize yourself the codebase. Once you get started, make sure to also check out relevant old issues and pull requests, as well the commit history of relevant files).

In the meantime, I ask users and contributors to accept a higher delay in all activities of the project, but especially in the triage of new issues and review of non-trivial pull requests. Further, please consider the next planned³ releases as postponed.

Thank you,
Jonas
