Re: Self Introduction: Hussein K.
Hi
I'd like to mentor Hussein (FAS: blinxen) in learning to become a
packager. He is a work colleague of mine. In particular, he's helping me
getting libimagequant updated, which some time ago was ported to rust.
As such, I'd like to add him as a co-maintainer of libimagequant and
help him getting the new dependencies reviewed. Is anyone willing to
sponsor Hussein?
Thanks
Sandro
