Hi,

Are there any developers who use svgalib and would be interested in 
helping out maintenance-wise?

It's currently maintained by Mike (spanky) but he doesn't use it or have 
any interest in it - he just looks after it because nobody else does.

I believe he's about to commit the fix for the current critical open bug 
(#195632) but if anyone else is interested in helping out it would 
probably help response-time in the future (it does have some real users 
who have been bitten by this bug for a number of weeks).

It's not a fun package to maintain - not very useful IMO, it's a kernel 
module that lives outside the kernel so it will regularly break 
overnight, upstream are rather dead, etc, but if someone wouldn't mind 
putting some time towards it now and then, some of our users would 
appreciate it :)

Thanks,
Daniel
