Hi,
If this is a matter of stepping up and volunteering, I would be more than
willing to. I've been using libusb with my hotplug implementation on
Windows for over 6 months now. It's on a cross-platform utility in which
hotplug functionality is the single most important feature, where multiple
devices are expected to come and go and triggering off this event is
crucial.
I'm happy to help with libusb in any way I can, and right now I have the
time to dedicate to it.
Regards,
Chris
