Hey everyone,

My name is Ogi (j9ac9k on github).  I'm one of the maintainers of
pyqtgraph.  I am writing here to solicit for volunteers to help maintain
the library.

In case you haven't been following the project recently, we've done a few
releases this last year (we're trying to migrate to a faster release
cycle), and thanks to some amazing contributors, we have Qt6 support,
optional CuPy support, expanded documentation (thanks readthedocs),
expanded our test suite, and made countless bug-fixes and performance
improvements.

Almost 2 years ago we were coming up on 200 open pull requests, and as I
write this email, we are down to 24.  The library was stagnant for a long
time, and as the PR count is trending downward, there is still work to be
done from unifying the API, deprecating older methods, expanding the
documentation, profiling "slow" parts of the library, investigating issues
created; and general steering the course for where the library should go
from now.

Ideally you will have contributed to the library beforehand, be comfortable
with git (primarily for switching to branches of pull request authors, and
be able to use git bisect to track down regression bugs), have working
knowledge of numpy and some familiarity with Qt.  You wouldn't have to be
an expert, just have some familiarity, and the capability and willingness
to spend time working on the library.  There are other active maintainers,
so you would not be isolated.

If you are a long-time user of pyqtgraph, but don't think you have the
bandwidth to contribute to the library on a semi-regular basis, we can use
your help too!.  If you could take a look at the list of current open pull
requests, and if you have input to any of them (such as this would be
useful, or not because functionality already exists), or want to test them
out to see if they function, that would be a huge help!

If you want to be a volunteer to help make the library healthier/better, or
if you have any questions, please reach out.

Thanks,
Ogi
