I and Qianhai are GPU R&D engineers at Loongson, specializing
in kernel driver development. We understand that the current
Loongson GPU driver lacks dedicated maintenance resources
because of some reasons.

As Loongson GPU driver developers, we have both the capability
and the responsibility to continuously maintain the Loongson
GPU driver, ensuring minimal impact on its users. After internal
discussions, our team has decided to recommend me and Qianhai
to take over the maintenance responsibilities, and recommend
Huacai, Mingcong and Ruoyao to help to review.

And We'll continue to maintain it for current supported chips
and drive future updates according to chip support plan.

Welcome and thanks for helping out.

Yesterday, Icenowy Zheng also volunteered to help with the driver. If
she's still interested, I think you should both co-maintain the
driver.

I am still interested, especially for MIPS-based Loongson systems. I'm
okay to act either as a co-maintainer or a reviewer, and let Loongson
folks to decide it.

Hi,Icenowy

Thanks for willing to join us co-working the driver,and I'll add you as reviewer in v3 patch, expecting a pleasant cooperation.

BTW, it will help me to look into and reply your patch if you can CC me, thanks.

Icenowy is already active in the maintenance of other DRM drivers and
can certainly do good work here as well.

Best regards
Thomas

By the way, previously when Sui Jingfeng is in charge of this driver,
the status is "Supported" instead of "Maintained". Does this change
show any difference on Loongson's attitude towards this driver?

Thanks,
Icenowy
