To be clear, I don't really consider myself a pixman maintainer -- I was actually kind of surprised to see that I was the #2 committer. I work full-time on Mesa, and the work I did on pixman was for an old contract job at OLPC and then some stuff for fun (Loongson MIPS). > If that is indeed the case, I would like to offer my help to make > regular releases for Pixman, both for upstream and Fedora, as well as > do bug-triage and code reviews. > > I believe I have the available time to do it as I'm working 100% on > graphics in Red Hat.

Feel free to express your opinions - I > already have thick skin from the kernel work ;) That all sounds fantastic. I'd personally be very happy to see pixman maintained by another Red Hatter :) I'm of course around to help out when I have time.
