Hi Martin,
first of all thank you! KWin is an amazing piece of software and we
owe this to a huge part to you.
Regarding your decision to step down as maintainer I hope you
reconsider though.
No, that decision is final. It's not that I decided yesterday, but it's
something I have been thinking about more and more often over the last
year. Especially over the last months I got more and more frustrated and
not motivated when going through reviews. In too many reviews I said no.
I don't want to be the one guy who is against everything. In such a
situation it's better to step down as maintainer and enjoy coding.
While it's true that you are currently not as
active as in the past, we still very much need your knowledge and
expertise on everything KWin/KWayland and X/Wayland related. This
holds definitely for bigger changes to KWin or KWayland like my
current output class restructuring in KWin or how there are at the
moment numerous new interfaces in the process of being added to
KWayland by different people.
I'm still around. Just ping me or add me to the review. I'll try to get
phabricator notifications working for me by removing myself from the
groups.
When I saw there was a problem with stacking up reviews in the last
few weeks my secret plan was to still have you as maintainer of KWin
for the foreseeable future because of your immense knowledge about the
project, but at some point have David and/or me added as co-maintainer
to help with the legwork. Would this be an option for you?
As said the decision to not be maintainer any more is final. I'll be
around to help and give advice, also to code, but not to maintain.
Cheers
Martin
