I would be interested in doing work on seahorse, I available to work on
seahorse once I graduate in May, until September.
While I have not yet contributed any code to seahorse, I've contributed
several patches to gnome-shell. Recently, I have begun exploring the
seahorse codebase to fix some bugs, and at the present I'm working on
adding an app menu.
As a new developer to seahorse, mentorship would be greatly helpful. At
this time, I cannot say for sure what the estimated workload is needed
for fixing #550736. Perhaps Stef could help in this matter.
