Motivation

I'm nominating myself for nixpkgs committer access to help merge and maintain the set of packages I already look after, primarily in the embedded Linux / Yocto / Zephyr / Rust tooling space.

Contribution history

Packages I maintain

  • Yocto / OpenEmbedded tooling: oelint-adv, python3Packages.oelint-parser, bitbake-language-server, git-repo
  • Embedded device flashing / management: uuu (NXP USB Updater), snagboot, mcuboot-imgtool, mcumgr-client, smpmgr, python3Packages.smp, python3Packages.smpclient, python3Packages.zcbor, python3Packages.lpc-checksum, python3Packages.tftpy
  • Renode embedded simulator: renode, renode-bin, renode-dts2repl
  • Rust development tooling: cargo-msrv, cargo-valgrind, cargo-cross, cargo-limit, cargo-rr, cargo-wipe
  • Terminals / tmux ecosystem: rio, tmuxp, python3Packages.libtmux
  • Other: shellhub-agent, linuxPackages.rtl88x2bu, robotframework-tidy, python3Packages.junit2html

Why committer access helps

Most of what I do is keep this corner of nixpkgs current — version bumps, moves to pkgs/by-name, fixing build regressions, and reviewing PRs from contributors in the same space. Committer access would let me close the loop on straightforward updates and reviews for these packages without needing to ping another committer each time.
