Officially, it is part of the PC/x86 > subsystems: In this case I would like to become the official Qemu/Multiboot maintainer. I do development related to x86 osdev and actively use qemu for my projects. I am interested in having a feature-rich and robust Multiboot implementation. In mid term I see several tasks for me: - finish and merge my cleanup + MULTIBOOT_INFO_ELF_SHDR patch series - add Multiboot2 support - (optional) look at MIPS support for Multiboot. I do not have/use MIPS but it is beneficial to add multiplatform support to Multiboot - reviewing incoming patches A bit about me. My name is Anatol Pomozov and at my spare time I participate at several open sources projects. I am an Arch developer since 2013 where I maintain a bunch of packages (including Arch qemu package [1]). I have ~40 patches in the Linux kernel tree, where the biggest contribution is a driver for audio codec NAU8825. I contributed a lot of small patches to numerous projects (compilers, toolchains, ...)
