@misch42 hi, thanks for reporting the issue!

I'll ping the original maintainers: @QijunPan @TommyLike @edisonxiang @freesky-edward @hwDCN @niuzhenguo @xuxiaowei0512 @yanzhangi @zengchen1024 @zhongjun2

Though the chances anybody responds is not high, so I'll put the help_wanted label and the link to the Quick-start dev guide if anyone else wants to fix this.
