Maybe it would be a good idea to give you commit access. You have a
good record of patches already. What do others think? It's no good to
be blocking your work when nobody has the time to apply your patches.

In any case, do you think adding an exact layout for all sorts of
keyboards is a good thing to do? As a user, I've never had a problem
with using a bit of phantasy if the layout on the screen didn't
exactly match my physical keyboard. I think this is only a problem if
the difference is great. It should be impossible to add a layout for
all keyboards out there, and I wonder if a crowded list of layouts,
some of them only slightly different, is helpful.

Best regards,
-Stephan
