I put out a call a while back for people to help with this and did get some replies but there are still many unmaintained packages as https://home.comcast.net/~sdwalker/uscan/index.html [4] shows. Travis Please advise on how one should request developer rights to maintain a package. I sent such a request a few weeks ago and got no response at all. I have to agree with Luca here. I have been doing a lot of work in support of the ramips target, and most of my submitted patches are still waiting to be committed. I want to contribute, but I don't feel like I'm getting a warm welcome. Regards, Layne Edwards Sorry I missed the request. Send me a email with the packages you would like to maintain and I will get you setup. To get access to target is a little more involved (if you are interested), but I can run it by the core developers and see what everyone thinks. Travis I see your email about ramips, I can not commit it as I have no way of testing but I will ping a couple other devs. Travis Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining or being impatient about patches. I completely understand that the devs are busy and it may take a few days (or even weeks) before patches make it to trunk. I'm just agreeing with the OP. Since the devs are busy, I would expect that new developers would be welcome and appreciated. I may have submitted my request via the wrong channels. I sent it to "openwrt-hackers at openwrt.org" per the contact information on the trac wiki. After receiving no response, I forwarded the request to several of the core developers. Regardless, I requested dev privs to the ramips target. I have several patches for the ramips ethernet and switch drivers... and would like to do some more work here as the current drivers are relatively immature (lacking swlib support, etc). There's a lot of work to be done on this target. I submitted a couple low priority board support patches to OpenWrt-Devel, but the most important outstanding patch is here: https://dev.openwrt.org/ticket/9071 [5] Thanks, Layne Links: ------ [1] mailto:thepeo...@openwrt.org [2] mailto:ledwa...@astrumtech.net [3] mailto:thepeo...@openwrt.org [4] https://home.comcast.net/%7Esdwalker/uscan/index.html [5] https://dev.openwrt.org/ticket/9071
