Definitely not a Mormon:). No, I'm a member of the Christian Reformed Churches of Australia.
I'm not sure where the term came from, but it's essentially a pastor, but without the requirement that the man who fills the position be able to be ordained in our denomination, and it's for congregations that aren't big enough to have their own minister. HTH.
I'm sorry, but saying that shows a lack of understanding of how complex using kexec would really be. It's designed for a completely different purpose, and mangling it to do suspend would be complicated to say the least, and require the user to set aside a considerable amount of memory that just isn't really necessary.
Hardware bug fixes aren't really my domain. Traditionally, I have included some so that suspend2 users don't have to go searching for extra patches, but they really belong upstream to start with so swsusp users can benefit too.
New features... well, I think I've run out of things that need to be added. If you have a suggestion, I'd certainly consider it.
Mostly because Pavel has the death grip on the vanilla kernel. I'm still working on doing everything necessary to get it merged, including preparing a git tree. I figure that even if it doesn't get merged, it will make it easier for me to maintain and for distros to take up if they want to. Who knows - maybe Andrew and Linus will eventually decide to pick it up regardless of Pavel's objections. But they won't be able to do that if I don't get it ready. HTH.
I don't think we need a new maintainer, but if it comes to that, I'd happily work with them. I still have lots of tidying up and improving the documentation to do first though. No sense making it harder for others to use and understand than it needs to be.
Regards,

I guess I didn't write that email well enough - I tried to clearly say I'm not resigning, just switching full-time jobs, and as a result won't be working on Suspend as much. Given that it's already pretty mature, this won't have much effect on it's development, and I'll still be producing patches for vanilla kernels. Hope that helps.
