Thanks for pointing it out.

I have sent some pull request in the past and when it makes sense I
intend to do so for the drivers (or framework components) I take care
of.

As long as I can continue doing it, there's no need to list my name
here until we don't get to a model where more people can have commit
rights, which is still something I hope we can get to in a reasonable
time.

In any case, I'm certainly interested in partecipating in any effort
that could make the subsystem a little more agile.

Thanks
