Hello,
I like nixpkgs and it's apparent to me that it lacks people to commit stuff.
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pulls?q=sort%3Aupdated-desc+is%3Apr+is%3Aopen+author%3AZaczero
9 out of my 40 prs have a approval but are never commited. Stuff like that demotivates.
While I don't intend to review/commit other, unrelated PRs, at least I hope I can help nixpkgs by committing changes that I am related to in some way. I am hoping to help the Python team too, because, as you can see here, it's dead:
NixOS/nixpkgs#446725
NixOS/nixpkgs#446749
NixOS/nixpkgs#494800
(not that I'll commit it without other people's actual review, just providing it as a reference)
and I'm a Python-first dev and I care about high quality Python and AI packaging in nixpkgs.
I was brought to nixpkgs and then nixos because of the idea of having a large package set that works on any distro. The beauty of nixos modules and reproducibility really changed the way I manage my personal servers and develop software. I want to help benefit my and others' workflows.
