time to have more people engaged.

[I3wm] Re: i3wm for EPEL8
by Dan Čermák
Hi Eric,
first and foremost sorry about not replying to the Bugzilla bug earlier,
the past weeks were unfortunately a bit crazy.

I'll be pretty blunt here: I don't really care about having i3 in epel8,
so as long as you take care of the epel8 branch and any bugs that pop
up: I'm more than happy to add you as a co-maintainer.

Adding the i3 SIG to the loop, maybe is something achievable by us.
