Hello from your new maintainer. I am hoping that the growing community of the project formerly know as google-perftools, is going to keep me busy with patch work. I strongly encourage everyone to dedicate some time and expertise where you can so that we can continue to build out features and support for gperftools. The amount of time these performance tools have saved me over the last year in debugging memory leaks and troubleshooting performance issues, has far exceeded the time I have given to make improvements. If you are familiar with MIPS or OSX porting and want to contribute, I have a few issues that need to be taken care of :)

As my background with gperftools is still relatively limited, I will likely be doing some house cleaning activities over the next few months to broaden my familiarity. In the mean time, I will do what I can to answer questions, triage new issues, and organize patch work for release. Ideally I would like to push out a patch every 3-4 months provided that it is justified.
