I'm still around, but I don't have a lot of time to look at things, I've been really busy with work and family.
Unfortunately when I wrote pixz, it was more of an experiment than a well-planned project. I never expected other people to find it so useful! It uses fairly unclean code, eg: global variables all about, so it definitely needs some spit and polish—if anybody wants to try refactoring it a bit, I'd welcome that :)

In the form of pull requests or as a full access contributor?

I'd be happy to give you a commit bit! Same goes for anybody else who has C experience. Someone who's just learning programming should probably start with a PR, though to be honest they probably couldn't do much worse than my code on pixz :P

I also have a branch sitting around somewhere with a partial refactoring, the goal of which was to allow pixz to work on gzip as well as xz format. I don't think I ever pushed it :( I'll see if I can find it, it might make a good starting point.

Thanks for adding me, I'll do what I can.

I am going to start by providing all changes I make as pull requests, even though I may merge these directly / instantly. This way, they can be discussed separately and certain issues that may occur can be ironed out.

Hey Dave. Would you consider adding me as a contributor as well? I've been a long-time Pixz user and fan, and I'd like to contribute from the perspective of testing, packaging, and documentation. I think I've done a fairly decent job at that on the Pelican project. (^_^)
Moreover, I'd like to contribute by helping with testing on Mac OS X prior to release, in order to ensure proper functionality on that platform.
Does that sound okay with you?

You're in :)
