I've been actively working on VKMS to provide new features and
participated in reviews and testing. To help Maìra with her work, add
myself as co-maintainer of VKMS.

Hi everyone,
This series [1] has been waiting for a while now, it was proposed first in
February. The first iterations had few reactions (thanks to Arthur, Pekka,
Maìra, ...), but since v8 (in May) no major issues were reported, Maìra
seemed satisfied, and only minor cosmetic changes were reported. Two other
series ([2] and [3]), that I submitted first in May, did not have receive
any reactions.
In addition, there is also some significant addition to VKMS being
proposed, such as ConfigFS support, and without a clear maintainer having
the time to review and approve these changes, these changes have very
little changes to get in.
VKMS is not a fundamental driver for "normal" Linux users, but I had some
feedback from userspace developpers that VKMS could be a very good testing
tool if only it had more features (I think P0xx formats were asked to
test HDR for example). This could also help to detect issues in DRM core
by emulating a wide range of configurations.
I believe the only active maintainer is Maìra, but as she's mentioned before,
she doesn't have much time to work on VKMS. So, I'd like to volunteer as a
maintainer. I have plenty of time to dedicate to VKMS.
I hope I've gained enough understanding of VKMS to be helful with this role.
I am eager to move forward and improve this subsystem. I've also talked to Sean
about this, and he agrees that it would be good if I could commit code to
drm-misc.

This way you will be able to commit your patches. Thanks for your support! I just checked the rules to become a commiter, and it requires at least 10 non-trivial patches, so I can't apply right now. Few months ago, you seemed interested in merging few patchs from [1] ([2] is the last iteration and can be applied on drm-misc/drm-misc-next, and I just ran few igt tests, they pass), can you do it so I can apply to be a commiter? Thanks a lot!

As far as I'm concerned, being a maintainer of a driver in drm-misc gives you automatically that right :) Maxime
