As Fill PDF usage and the complexity of contributions grow, I find myself with a backlog of patches to port to Drupal 6. Until Drupal 8 comes out, my preference would be for feature parity between the two versions as lots of people still use Drupal 6. Like many other maintainers, I now develop new features (that aren't sponsored) on Drupal 7 first.

So! I'm looking for a co-maintainer who would like to backport D7 patches or for someone to sponsor me to spend time backporting them myself, if you need the features sooner. My current plan is to work on backporting whenever I've caught up with reviewing the current Drupal 7 patches, and after I complete #1266174: Rules integration I am likely to take a break and spend some time backporting whatever needs it at that point.

If you want to sponsor, then use my contact form (click my username, and Contact). If you want to co-maintain, please reply here with what you bring to the table and your motivation for volunteering. Info on if you have previous maintainership experience would be a plus, but generally I'm not that picky (proof: #1236058: Seeking 6.x co-maintainer for Features extra, #1194532: Seeking co-maintainer for Meetup API).

Thanks for volunteering!

I'm a bit apprehensive because you don't have much of a history, and you also just requested co-maintainership in #1431526: project abandonded? co-maintainer offer!. Not that I really mind, but it's just something I was checking out in evaluating your application.

So tell you what. If you start posting D6 patches to the issues that need them, and they look good and work, then I will come back and review this and make you a co-maintainer if it seems appropriate.

Nice! I've given you "Write to VCS" and "Maintain issues" permissions, so you're welcome to commit your other backport if you want. For now I will still coordinate project page edits and official releases, so if you think it is time for those file an issue or email me. I think once a bit more work happens on 6.x we should make a new 6.x release.

From my end (Drupal 7) the next major priorities are #1393056: [Meta] Write tests and #1705740: Integrate with digital signature service or technology (comments wanted). You technically can push to 7.x-1.x-dev, but please don't without consulting me first. You can push to a feature branch (7.x-1.x-somefeaturename for example) though without asking me if a situation comes up where that makes sense.

Work with me closer on the first few commits/pushes to 6.x-1.x-dev, but after that just hit me up as needed or if you are unsure of something.

Thanks!
