I have only superficial knowledge of GDB code base. 2. The situation with my Guile embedding knowledge is the same. 3. My lisp experience is limited to a single small patch for Magit (and it is in Elisp instead of Scheme). 4. I'll be doing it in my free time which on average would amount to 10-12 hours/week. 5. I still have to settle Copyright Assignment with my new employer. (Which I hope will go well, but one never knows) 6. I still have some -Wshadow patches to send. I guess this makes me the worst possible candidate, but if, for some unfathomable reason, there are no better candidates, feel free to nudge me. P. S. Don't want to create separate thread, so I'll just ask here: Is it OK to apply approved -Wshadow patches, provided of course #5 up above is resolved, or should I wait more?
