You're certainly welcome to add your name as you see fit! Admittedly, it's
probably one of the bigger challenges.

Unless anyone has additional insights, here's my two cents: there are
likely various ways to address this "area or interest".

It may be a good starting point to raise that topic during the next call
and look into organizing a subgroup of people to develop this forward,
unless we manage to rally people through the mailing list.

Right now, it's mixing a few things together. It may also be helpful to
split or focus it a bit more: right now I can identify at least four
topics (there may be more?):

 * performance, i.e. making use of p- and e-cores
 * power management, reducing power draw
 * improving the scheduler to be more responsive for user-centric
   workloads
 * suspend/resume improvements - may require clarification (may have
   a strong dependency to drm-kmod, but I'm not sure about it)
