Description

Pinta project has released a major update in Jan 2022. Pinta-2.0.2. The latest package in repo is still 1.7.1. This package needs updates.
The major release has ported the project to GTK3, and dotnet 6. There are various UI and performance improvements in this release too.

On my machine, It build and installs without any issue. I should note that my system has dotnet core 6 installed from microsoft, and the build script used that over system mono libraries.
The project claims that it can be build using mono libraries too which Ubuntu uses, but I haven't tried building it.

Oh, I see. Is dotnet core fully open sourced? In the last comment, datadrake says it is pending for someone to volunteer as maintainer. I am available to help, What is process of joining as volunteer package maintainer?

Also, as far as I know, It should be compatible to be build with mono repos, I am not sure, but on their site, they say it needs "either" dotnet core "or" mono as dependencies. Older versions were able to built with mono.

What is process of joining as volunteer package maintainer? I tried to volunteer for some gnome apps after it was suggested on forum on one of my post . I joined IRC as suggested, but UI was clunky and hard to navigate, also no one responded back.
