Hi everyone, I want to apply as a maintainer for the epson2 driver.
I started working on this driver when I added focus and autofocus support. Since then, I fixed some more bugs and cleaned up the description files. I have a PR pending to improve the timeout behaviour. I think I got the hang of the driver meanwhile. My motivation: As a side project, I work with an observatory helping them to scan their collection of photographic plates with sky surveys from last century. We use an Epson 12000XL for that and a working driver is crucial. So, I'd like to take care of it. Besides the above high end and brand new scanner at the observatory, I also have an older Epson 1640SU Photo at home for additional testing and verifications. And remote debugging by guiding users is also part of my daily work. I have 8 years of experience in maintaining the I2C subsystem of the Linux Kernel, so I am not new to maintaining. I know that SANE is a different project than the Kernel, so I hope you guys would guide me when it comes to details I might be missing. So, I guess this sums it up. I'd like to help the SANE project here, and hope you guys see a match. All the best and happy hacking, Wolfram
