Let's hear from antisocrates. I can offer a multi-year commitment for
Personally, I don’t want gaps to be built from src:i3-wm.
It’s enough work to maintain one version of i3.
That said, sur5r is doing all of the Debian work since I retired from
Debian,
so it’s ultimately up to him.

This is a very different skillset from packaging.

Is there someone who would continuously maintain i3-gaps in Debian?
I wouldn’t want that package to diverge from upstream i3 in terms of which

Hey,
thanks everyone for reaching out.
The interest in making i3-gaps available to more people has prompted some
discussion between Ingo (the maintainer of the i3-gaps fork, and an i3 core

The key concern about the i3-gaps fork is code quality: the implementation
