Hey all,
I'm Maxwell Huang-Hobbs. I've been using fedora as my daily driver since 2015-ish and want to contribute to packaging.
I've previously made contributions to nixpkgs when I was using nix-on-fedora, and I'm generally interested in packaging things that impact my setup.
The thing that's spurring me to jump in now is a bugfix in xserver 1.20.12 [1] which isn't yet packaged for fedora. From looking at the last time xorg-x11-server had a version bump [2], I thought I might be able to jump in and make the update myself. Fingers crossed the update is trivial and the patches still apply.
Cheers, Maxwell

Looks like there's a 1.20.13 even....
