I'm mostly interested in the genesys backend right now because I have access to more hardware. Of course it all depends on the the plans of the current maintainer :-) If there's lack of interest and time, I could take over maintenance sooner rather than later. The only issue in this case would be access of hardware - I would not feel confident without a way to test most configurations end to end and getting all the scanners would take some time.
