Hello,

Thank you for your request.

Could you please provide some context or motivation behind your request to be added to the maintainer list? It would be helpful for us to understand how this aligns with your intentions or contributions to the project.

In my opinion, it might be more effective to create a PR that demonstrates why being included in the maintainer list is relevant. For instance:

• Are you planning to contribute to nixpkgs?
• Do you intend to adopt and maintain specific packages?

If your goal is to adopt packages, there's no need for a separate PR for this request. Instead, you can include a commit in a PR where it's clear which packages you'd like to maintain.

Please note that this is not about discouraging new contributors, on the contrary! We value new maintainers, and some contextual information will help us streamline the process and support your contributions effectively.

Thank you.

Hi @drupol,

I hope you're doing well.

Thank you for your feedback. I've already created a couple of PRs that are currently waiting for review, and I actively use Nix on both macOS (Darwin) and Linux. My experience with Nix has given me insights into packages that I can add, update, or improve.

At the moment, I have two PRs open (#368631 - #368638), and I plan to contribute more soon. I believe I can make meaningful contributions to the Nix community and would like to take on a more active role as a maintainer.

Let me know if there's anything specific you'd like me to demonstrate or clarify further.

Thank you.

Hello !

Thanks for your constructive feedback, it's a bit sensible to explain that and I'm glad you didn't took it personally.

Do you think it would be possible to cherry pick the commit from this PR in the PRs you're working on? So that we review both of them at the same time?

By the way, welcome to the Nix community!

Thank you!

Hi!

Thank you for your kind and constructive feedback. I’ve gone ahead and cherry-picked the commit from this PR into the other two PRs as suggested.

By the way, I truly appreciate the warm welcome to the Nix community. 😊

Thank you!
