As read in Dries' blog post about Drupal 8 there will be a framework and an application maintainer for Drupal 8. I would like to be the framework maintainer but obviously the decision is Dries'. My actual coding contributions have decreased significantly recently anyways and this would be a fantastic way to continue contributing to Drupal. I will write more on this blog about our goals for Drupal 8. Here is a teaser: we could do iterations of designing and implementation on the application side and putting the framework in a slush while the application side is implementing. Stay tuned for more :)

In a general sense, I'd probably support this. You surely have the knowledge, as visible on Drupal's learning curve. ;)
However, I'd also see some issues with that - and I hope you don't mind me putting it straight to the point:
- It's still pretty hard to ask you a framework question without being yelled at. :P
- Your comments on d.o issues are often very short and while people are totally happy to get at least a little piece of information, they usually struggle heavily in trying to figure out what exactly this little piece means in the scope of the big (sub-)system.
- Contrib activity? (or: building a framework for what application?)
- Someone (errr... some more) would have to take over maintenance of your sub-systems.
That's my braindump for now. Need to go back to D7 Form API challenges...
All resolvable. ;)
Minor comment - you want to be D8 maintainer, yet your website says it is run from D5!
Well said. You have to update to it!
I cant keep up anymore with upgrades :)
Well done!
