Would be interested to hear @themightycat@ani.social chime in with any reflections and/or plans to work with Nura to get a device maintainer team going! I can see reasons not to—contributing upstream directly without having to work in a team is probably more efficient—but there might be reasons to consider it as well.
Whether it works for all contributors or not this seems like a really neat development and I'm happy to see what becomes of it. Especially for the Fairphone 5. :)
This seems like a very good development, but as for joining a team i am open to the idea but not sure if i will apply. Especially considering most of the work is already done and maintaining it will now be done on the list.
I've been following your FP6 and I love it. Thanks fir all the hard work!! I drive an FLX1s for daily-driver but hardware is notable (low RAM crashes sometimes) and performance is okay'ish. I may switch to FP6, looking at your hardware enablement and ofc, donation to you :)
The Fairphone 5 needs the extra work enabling the components.
