The following might be related, or might be orthogonal, but isn't it
also the case that Asahi recently lost their lead dev--or at least key
dev--who is now doing something GPU-driver related for a major hardware
manufacturer? Did someone else step forward to maintain Asahi and/or
the subset of the project left without a maintainer?
I'm an interested observer of the project, not using or contributing to it.
Marcan, Lina, and Alyssa have left the project. Afaik Alyssa is working for a GPU vendor now.
Sven Peter has stepped up as maintainer and is regularly upstreaming to the Linux kernel; current focus is on the USB drivers. He'll give a talk this month at 39c3.
Afaik Janne Grunau is now maintaining the graphics stack, but I don't know how they split their work and if there are other maintainers.
They also started porting some of the critical parts of the m1n1 bootloader to Rust.
Kind regards
André
