Hi everyone! pm-utils is becoming more and more important as hal is pushing for it as preferred power management backend. A lot of distributions are using hal/pm-utils nowadays but they have to carry around a lot of distro specific patches. It's almost as every distro has an own "fork" of pm-utils. Unfortunately the acceptance of external patches has been very low. Would it be possible to open up the project for external contributions?
As a first step, I'd propose to move to a more modern SCM, like git. As a second step, to share the workload, more people should get commit access, like the Mandriva, openSUSE and Debian maintainers, which have posted a lot of patches during the last months. The situation as it stands today is not acceptable imho. We are on the way of diverging again and miss out a great opportunity to have a common, working suspend infrastructure that works across distributions. I'd be very interested in feedback.
