Well, I am not sure whether I am ready to follow some issues requiring a
regular work (screening Bugzilla, following mailing list etc.).
And I don't suppose to be able to fix more complicated kernel issues.

But having no mentor means, that the machine will be considered as
unsupported, which might be even worse...

What exactly means "generating" images? Looking at (unwanted) traces of
build root, spitz images are generated by koen, isn't it?

Well, if there is anybody, who can be added to Cc:, whenever I would
like to see the patch committed, then it's OK. Otherwise it is not
separate, because nobody likes long time pending fixes.

I would be especially glad if somebody could review and commit pending
patches into the repository.

Here is a list of my recent Angstrom patches:
