Moreover as most > probably I will be the biggest contributor, who will be reviewing me ? Guennadi is the soc-camera maintainer. So once pxa_camera no longer uses soc-camera ('independent v4l2 host') it would be me who would review the code and manages patches. BTW, where can I get pxa hardware? It is always nice if I am able to test code as well. But I haven't been able to find a source for this platform.
