I don't have a long history in the cairo community. I've just been
looking after the Meson port and the CI setup and a few patches here
and there recently. I mostly work on the GStreamer multimedia framework
where we ship Cairo on Linux, Windows, macOS, Android and iOS, mostly
for text rendering and graphics overlay rendering.
I think what you propose is great and pretty much matches what I think
needs to be done going forward. I was going to propose similar things,
just in a more piecemeal fashion. Happy to see you've already done a
lot of that work.
I'd be happy to help close whatever gap in functionality remains
between the autotools build and the Meson build, and also pitch in with
any CI/release script stuff.
Cheers
Tim
