[Gluster-devel] Fwd: [fuse-devel] Call for new maintainer(s)

[Niels de Vos]

Gluster does not depend much (unfortunately) on libfuse. At one time we
had the idea to rewrite our own implementation of the fuse bindings and
use the well tested and maintained libfuse. Possibly in combination with
libgfapi. This would reduce maintenance overhead quite a bit.

If someone still has an interest in persuading this, you might as well
want to support maintaining libfuse. I guess a small group of
maintainers is welcome (not expected to come all from Gluster). Get in
touch with Nikolaus and see what options there are.
